Linear second-order problems with Sturm-Liouville-type multi-point boundary conditions

We consider the eigenvalue problem for the equation $-u'' = lambda u$ on $(-1,1)$, together with general Sturm-Liouville-type, multi-point boundary conditions at $pm 1$. We show that the basic spectral properties of this problem are similar to those of the standard Sturm-Liouville pro...
