We present a new necessary condition for similarity of indefinite Sturm-Liouville operators to self-adjoint operators. This condition is formulated in terms of Weyl-Titchmarsh m-functions. Also we obtain necessary conditions for regularity of the critical points 0 and∞ of J-nonnegative Sturm-Liouville operators. Using this result, we construct several examples of operators with the singular cri...
