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...

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 problem with separated boundary conditions. In particular, for each integer $k ge 0$ there exists a unique, simple eigenvalue $lambda_k$ whose eigenfunctions have 'oscillation count' equal to k. |
