In this paper we present a study on the analogous properties of discrete and continuous Sturm-Liouville problems arising in matrix analysis and differential equations, respectively. Green’s functions in both cases have analogous expressions in terms of the spectral data. Most of the results associated to inverse problems in both cases are identical. In particular, in both cases Weyl’s m-functio...

Selfadjoint Sturm-Liouville operators Hω on L2(a, b) with random potentials are considered and it is proven, using positivity conditions, that for almost every ω the operator Hω does not share eigenvalues with a broad family of random operators and in particular with operators generated in the same way as Hω but in L2(ã, b̃) where (ã, b̃) ⊂ (a, b).

-This paper introduces general discrete linear Harniltonian eigenvalue problems and characterizes the eigenvalues. Assumptions are given, among them the new notion of strict controllability of a discrete system, that imply isolatedness and lower boundedness of the eigenvalues. Due to the quite general assumptions, discrete Sturrn-Liouville eigenvalue problems of higher order are included in the...
