Trace of a difference of singular Sturm-Liouville operators with a potential containing Dirac \(\delta\)-functions (Q384380)

In \(L_{2}\left[ 0,+\infty \right) \), the Sturm-Liouville operator generated by the expression involving delta functions is considered: \[ l_{a,b,q}:=\frac{d^{2}}{dx^{2}}+\sum_{m=1}^{N}a_{m}\delta (x-b_{m})+q(x), \] where \(q\) is a real valued function locally summable on the semiaxis \(\mathbb{R}_{+}:=\left[ 0,+\infty \right) ,\delta (x)\) stands for the Dirac delta function, \(a=\left( a_{1},\dots ,a_{N}\right) \in\mathbb{R}^{N}\) and \(b=\left( b_{1},\dots ,b_{N}\right) \in\mathbb{R}^{N}\), where \(0<b_{1}<\dots <b_{m}<b_{m+1}<\dots <b_{N}\). The asymptotic behavior of a solution of the Sturm-Liouville equation \[ l_{a,b,q}\left[ y\right] =\lambda y,\;\lambda \neq 0 \] with the initial condition \[ y\left( 0,\lambda \right) =0,\;y^{[1]}\left( 0,\lambda \right) =1 \] is obtained. The spectral function of the self adjoint operator \[ H_{a,b,q}^{0}y=l_{a,b,q}[y] \] for \[ \text{dom}H_{a,b,q}^{0}y:=\left \{ y\in L_{2}\left(\mathbb{R}_{+}\right)\mid y,y^{[1]}\in AC(\mathbb{R}_{+}), \;y(0)=0, \;l_{a,b,q}\left[ y\right] \in L_{2}\left(\mathbb{R}_{+}\right) \right \} \] is found and the trace of the difference between two operators \( H_{a,b,q}^{0} \) and \(H_{a,b,0}^{0}\) (the operator for \(q(x)\equiv 0\)) is evaluated which differs by a multiplication operator by a locally summable function on the semiaxis.
