Embedded eigenvalues of Sturm-Liouville operators (Q1180521): Difference between revisions

The behaviour of embedded eigenvalues for Sturm-Liouville problems in \([0,\infty)\) under local perturbations is studied. If the spectral function has a strictly positive derivative then the embedded eigenvalues either disappear or remain fixed. In this case local perturbations cannot add eigenvalues in the continuous spectrum.
