The spectral analysis of a class of Sturm-Liouville problems with eigenparameter-dependent boundary conditions on bounded time scales is investigated. By partitioning the bounded time scale such that the coefficients of Sturm-Liouville equation satisfy certain conditions on the adjacent subintervals, the finite eigenvalue results are obtained. The results show that the number of eigenvalues not only depend on the partition of the bounded time scale, but also depend on the eigenparameter-dependent boundary conditions. Both of the self-adjoint and non-self-adjoint cases are considered in this paper.

In this paper, we consider properties of the spectrum of a Sturm-Liouville<br />operator on time scales. We will prove that the regular symmetric<br />Sturm-Liouville operator is semi-bounded from below. We will also give some<br />conditions for the self-adjoint operator associated with the singular<br />Sturm-Liouville expression to have a discrete spectrum. Finally, we will<br />investigate the continuous spectrum of this operator.

In this paper we use U(2), the group of 2 × 2 unitary matrices, to parametrize the space of all self-adjoint boundary conditions for a fixed Sturm–Liouville equation on the interval [0, 1]. The adjoint action of U(2) on itself naturally leads to a refined classification of self-adjoint boundary conditions – each adjoint orbit is a subclass of these boundary conditions. We give explicit parametrizations of those adjoint orbits of principal type, i.e. orbits diffeomorphic to the 2-sphere S2, and investigate the behaviour of the nth eigenvalue λnas a function on such orbits.

AbstractWe consider the Sturm–Liouville equation$$ -y''+qy=\lambda y\quad\text{on }[0,1], $$subject to the boundary conditions$$ y(0)\cos\alpha=y'(0)\sin\alpha,\quad\alpha\in[0,\pi), $$and$$\frac{y'}{y}(1)=a\lambda+b-\sum_{k=1}^N\frac{b_k}{\lambda-c_k}. $$Topics treated include existence and asymptotics of eigenvalues, oscillation of eigenfunctions, and transformations between such problems.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 34B24; 34L20

AbstractWe analyse isospectral sets of potentials associated to a given ‘generalized periodic’ boundary condition in SL(2, R) for the Sturm-Liouville equation on the unit interval. This is done by first studying the larger manifold M of all pairs of boundary conditions and potentials with a given spectrum and characterizing the critical points of the map from M to the trace a + d Isospectral sets appear as slices of M whose geometry is determined by the critical point structure of the trace function. This paper completes the classification of isospectral sets for all real self-adjoint boundary conditions.
