AbstractThe nonlinear Sturm-Liouville equation−(pyʹ)ʹ + qy = λ(1 − f)ry on [0, 1]is considered subject to the boundary conditions(ajλ + bj)y(j) = (cjλ + dj)(pyʹ)(j), j = 0, 1.Here a0 = 0 = c0 and p, r > 0 and q are functions depending on the independent variable x alone, while f depends on x, y and yʹ. Results are given on existence and location of sets of (λ, y) bifurcating from the linearized eigenvalues, and for which y has prescribed oscillation count, and on completeness of the y in an appropriate sense.

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.

Inverse problems of recovering the coefficients of Sturm--Liouville problems with the eigenvalue parameter linearly contained in one of the boundary conditions are studied: (1) from the sequences of eigenvalues and norming constants; (2) from two spectra. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of these inverse problems are obtained.

AbstractIn this work we investigate the completeness, minimality and basis properties of the eigenfunctions of one class discontinuous Sturm-Liouville equation with a spectral parameter in boundary conditions.
