Relative oscillation theory for Sturm-Liouville operators extended

We extend relative oscillation theory to the case of Sturm-Liouville operators Hu=r⁻¹(−^′(pu^′)+qu) with different p's. We show that the weighted number of zeros of Wronskians of certain solutions equals the value of Krein's spectral shift function inside essential spectral gaps.     

On the spectral theory of singular indefinite Sturm-Liouville operators

We consider a singular Sturm-Liouville differential expression with an indefinite weight function and we show that the corresponding self-adjoint differential operator in a Krein space locally has the same spectral properties as a definitizable operator.     

Eigenvalue asymptotics for Sturm-Liouville operators with singular potentials

We derive eigenvalue asymptotics for Sturm-Liouville operators with singular complex-valued potentials from the space , α∈[0,1], and Dirichlet or Neumann-Dirichlet boundary conditions. We also give application of the obtained results to the inverse spectral problem of recovering the potential from these two spectra.     

Sturm-Liouville operators and their spectral functions

Assume that the differential operator −DpD+q in L²(0,∞) has 0 as a regular point and that the limit-point case prevails at ∞. If p≡1 and q satisfies some smoothness conditions, it was proved by Gelfand and Levitan that the spectral functions σ(t) for the Sturm-Liouville operator corresponding to the boundary conditions (pu′)(0)=τu(0), , satisfy the integrability condition . The boundary condition u(0)=0 is exceptional, since the corresponding spectral function does not satisfy such an integrability condition. In fact, this situation gives an example of a differential operator for which one can construct an analog of the Friedrichs extension, even though the underlying minimal operator is not semibounded. In the present paper it is shown with simple arguments and under mild conditions on the coefficients p and q, including the case p≡1, that there exists an analog of the Friedrichs extension for nonsemibounded second order differential operators of the form −DpD+q by establishing the above mentioned integrability conditions for the underlying spectral functions.     

Regular approximation of singular self-adjoint differential operators

Given a singular self-adjoint differential operator of order 2n with real coefficients we constructtwo sequences of regular self-adjoint differential expressions^r which converge to ina generalized sense of resolvent convergence. The first constructionis suitable when no information about the real resolvent setof is available. The second is suitablewhen we know a real point of the resolvent set of .The main application of this construction is in numerical solutionof singular differential equations.     

Left-definite spaces of singular Sturm-Liouville problems

The left-definite Hilbert spaces for singular Sturm-Liouville problems of the limit-circle type are explicitly constructed. The construction only uses an explicit form of the left-definite boundary conditions, together with a principle solution and a non-principle solution of the differential equation involved.     

L~1-uniqueness of Sturm-Liouville operators

In this paper, we give two sufficient and necessary conditions for the L1-uniqueness of one-dimensional Sturm-Liouville operator Lf = af″ + bf′- V f, f∈D = C 0 ∞ (I), where I is an open interval of R and V≥0.     

Sturm-Liouville operators with indefinite weight functions and eigenvalue depending boundary conditions

We consider a class of boundary value problems for Sturm-Liouville operators with indefinite weight functions. The spectral parameter appears nonlinearly in the boundary condition in the form of a function τ which has the property that λ?λτ(λ) is a generalized Nevanlinna function. We construct linearizations of these boundary value problems and study their spectral properties.     

Inverse spectral problems for Sturm-Liouville operators with singular potentials. Part III: Reconstruction by three spectra

We solve the inverse spectral problem of recovering the singular potential from W⁻¹₂(0,1) of a Sturm-Liouville operator by its spectra on the three intervals [0,1], [0,a], and [a,1] for some a∈(0,1). Necessary and sufficient conditions on the spectral data are derived, and uniqueness of the solution is analyzed.     

Boundary conditions of Sturm-Liouville operators with mixed spectra

We study bounds on averages of spectral functions corresponding to Sturm-Liouville operators on the half line for different boundary conditions. As a consequence constraints are obtained which imply existence of singular spectrum embedded in a.c. spectrum for sets of boundary conditions with positive measure and potentials vanishing in an interval [0,N]. These constraints are related to estimates on the measure of sets where the spectral density is positive.     

Non-selfadjoint matrix Sturm-Liouville operators with spectral singularities

In this paper we investigate discrete spectrum of the non-selfadjoint matrix Sturm-Liouville operator L generated in L²(R₊,S) by the differential expression

     

Sturm-Liouville operators in the half axis with local perturbations

We give conditions which imply equivalence of the Lebesgue measure with respect to a measure μ generated as an average of spectral measures corresponding to Sturm-Liouville operators in the half axis. We apply this to prove that some spectral properties of these operators hold for large sets of boundary conditions if and only if they hold for large sets of positive local perturbations.     

On the negative squares of indefinite Sturm-Liouville operators

The number of negative squares of all self-adjoint extensions of a simple symmetric operator of defect one with finitely many negative squares in a Krein space is characterized in terms of the behaviour of an abstract Titchmarsh-Weyl function near 0 and ∞. These results are applied to a large class of symmetric and self-adjoint indefinite Sturm-Liouville operators with indefinite weight functions.     

Dependence of eigenvalues of regular Sturm-Liouville operators on the boundary condition

In this paper, we study the continuous dependence of eigenvalue of Sturm-Liouville differential operators on the boundary condition by using of implicit function theorem. The work not only provides a new and elementary proof of the above results, but also explicitly presents the expressions for derivatives of the n-th eigenvalue with respect to given parameters. Furthermore, we obtain the new results of the position and number of the generated double eigenvalues under the real coupled boundary condition.     

On the resolvent of singular Sturm-Liouville operators with transmission conditions

In this article, we investigate the resolvent operator of singular Sturm-Liouville problem with transmission conditions. We obtain integral representations for the resolvent of this operator in terms of the spectral function. Later, we discuss some properties of the resolvent operator, such as Hilbert-Schmidt kernel property, compactness. Finally, we give a formula in terms of the spectral function for the Weyl-Titchmarsh function of this problem.     

On sampling theory associated with the resolvents of singular Sturm-Liouville problems

This paper is concerned with the sampling theory associated with resolvents of eigenvalue problems. We introduce sampling representations for integral transforms whose kernels are Green's functions of singular Sturm-Liouville problems provided that the singular points are in the limit-circle situation, extending the results obtained in the regular problems.

     

On the monotonicity of some singular integral operators

The paper deals with the monotonicity of singular integral operators of the form where is the Cauchy singular integral operator on the interval (0,1) of the real axis and q is a power or logarithmic function. Under suitable assumptions, such singular integral operators are proved to be monotone and maximal monotone in spaces with power weights. Moreover, two related integral equations with weakly singular kernels of logarithmic type are studied. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
