Boundary value problems with regular singularities and singular boundary conditions (Q2575954)

Considered is a class of singular differential equations which can be transformed to \[ y''(x)+q(x)y(x)=\lambda y(x), \quad x\in (0,T),\tag{1} \] where \(q\) is continuous and has second-order singularities at the endpoints. For a certain class of boundary value problems associated with (1), it is shown that there is a countable set of eigenvalues, which has an explicitly stated asymptotic behaviour. Then, it is shown that the set of eigenfunctions and associated functions is complete in the Banach space \(B_{\beta ,\xi ,s}=\{f:f(x)x^{-\beta }(T-x)^{-\xi }\in L_s(0,T)\}\) for \(1\leq s\leq \infty \), \(\beta <\theta +1/s\), \(\xi <\theta _1+1/s\), where \(\beta \), \(\xi \), \(\theta \), \(\theta _1\) depend on \(q\).
