On the Riesz basisness of root functions of a Sturm-Liouville operator with conjugate conditions (Q2211390): Difference between revisions

In this study, authors consider the discontinuous Sturm-Liouville operator \[ l(y) = \begin{cases} l_1 (y_1), \quad & x \in (-1,0) \\ l_2 (y_2), \quad & x \in (0,1) \end{cases} \] where \[ l_1(y_1)= y_1''+q_1(x)y_1,\, l_2(y_2)=y_2''+q_2(x)y_2, \] \(q_1(x) \in C^1[-1,0)\) and \(q_1(x) \in C^1(0,1]\) are complex-valued functions and have finite limits \(\lim_{x \to \mp 0}q_k(x)\) for \(k=1, 2\). The authors deal with the problem of the operator \(l(y)\) with the periodic boundary conditions and with conjugate conditions. Both conjugate conditions have different finite one-sided limits at the point zero. By using the fundamental solution of problem, the asymptotic expression of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are obtained. By means of asymptotic formulas of eigenfunctions and Bessel properties of eigenfunctions, Riesz basisness of the root functions the boundary value problem is proved. Similar spectral properties are studied for same operator with anti-periodic boundary conditions and with the same conjugate conditions.
