The author considers the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem \[ -y''+Cx^{-\alpha}y+q(x)y=\lambda y \] on \((0,\pi)\) with boundary conditions \((\Gamma _\alpha y)(0)-hy(0)=0\), \((\Gamma _\alpha y)(\pi)+Hy(0)=0\), where \((\Gamma _\alpha y)(x)=y'(x)-u(x)y(x)\), \(u(x)=Cx^{1-\alpha }/(1-\alpha )\), \(\alpha \in (1,3/2)\), \(h\), \(H\) are real numbers and \(q\in L_2(0,\pi)\) is a real-valued function. This singular problem is transformed into the regular first-order system \[ y_1'-u(x)y_1=y_2,\;y_2'+u(x)y_2+u^2(x)y_1-q(x)y_1=-\lambda y_1. \] With the usual techniques, asymptotics for the solutions satisfying the boundary conditions at either endpoint are obtained, which leads to the eigenvalue asymptotics \[ \sqrt{\lambda _n}=n+\frac1\pi\int_0^\pi u(t)\sin 2nt\,dt +\frac w{\pi n}+\frac{k_n}n, \] with \((k_n)\in \ell_2\) and \[ w=H+h+\frac12\int_0^\pi q(t)\,dt-\frac12\int_0^\pi u^2(t)\,dt. \] Finally, it is noted that the problem is uniquely determined by two spectra.
