In this paper the inverse eigenvalue problem of recovering the real coefficients in a Sturm–Liouville problem with nonselfadjoint boundary conditions depending on the spectral parameter from the eigenvalues is solved using entire-function theory and the solution of a Marchenko integral equation.

It is shown that every regular Krein-Feller eigenvalue problem can be transformed to a semidefinite Sturm-Liouville problem introduced by Atkinson. This makes it possible to transfer results between the corresponding theories. In particular, Prüfer angle methods become available for Krein-Feller problems.

We describe a new algorithm to compute the eigenvalues of singular Sturm-Liouville problems with separated self-adjoint boundary conditions for both the limit-circle nonoscillatory and oscillatory cases. Also described is a numerical code implementing this algorithm and how it compares with SLEIGN. The latter is the only effective general purpose software available for the computation of the ei...

In this paper, the inverse problem of recovering the potential function, on a general finite interval, of a singular Sturm–Liouville problem with a new spectral parameter, called the nodal point, is studied. In addition, we give an asymptotic formula for nodal points and the density of the nodal set. c © 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In this paper, we study q-Sturm-Liouville operators. We construct a space of boundary values of the minimal operator and describe all maximal dissipative, maximal accretive, self-adjoint and other extensions of q-Sturm-Liouville operators in terms of boundary conditions. Then we prove a theorem on completeness of the system of eigenfunctions and associated functions of dissipative operators by ...

This paper constructs the small-gain theorem upon a general class of Sturm-Liouville systems. It appears that the feedback connection of two Sturm-Liouville sub-systems is guaranteed of well-posedness, Hurwitz, dissipativity and passivity in L2-spaces provided the loop gain is less than 1. To construct the theorem, spatiotemporal transfer-function and geometrical isomorphism between the space-t...

We study the approximation of the smallest eigenvalue of a Sturm-Liouville problem in the classical and quantum settings. We consider a univariate Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem with a nonnegative function q from the class C2([0, 1]) and study the minimal number n(ε) of function evaluations or queries that are necessary to compute an ε-approximation of the smallest eigenvalue. We prove that...
