Degenerate boundary conditions for the Sturm-Liouville problem on a geometric graph (Q2313378)

Sturm-Liouville boundary value problems on a three edge graphs with two vertices are considered. At the one vertex continuity and Kirchoff conditions are imposed, while at the other vertex all boundary conditions which result in a degenerate eigenvalue problem are characterized, catalogued and classified in various groupings. It is interesting to read the current article in conjunctions with page 121 of [\textit{M. A. Naimark}, Linear differential operators.
