Spectral matrix of the Sturm-Liouville equation with an extrinsic potential which is bounded on the real axis (Q804807)

The author establishes sufficient conditions in order that the spectral matrix function of the Sturm-Liouville equation \((1)\quad - y'+[q(x)+r(x)]y=\lambda y,\quad -\infty <\lambda <\infty,\) where q(x) is a continuous function on (-\(\infty,\infty)\), corresponds to the bounded dash potential on the axis. Let \(\Phi_ j(x,\lambda)\), \(\Phi_{j0}(x,\lambda)\) \((j=1,2)\), be solutions of equations (1) and \((2)\quad -y'+q(x)y=\lambda y,\) which satisfy the initial conditions \[ \Phi_ 1(0,\lambda)=\Phi_{10}(0,\lambda)=\Phi '_ 2(0,\lambda)=\Phi '_{10}(0,\lambda)=1, \] \[ \Phi '_ 1(0,\lambda)=\Phi '_{10}(0,\lambda)=\Phi_ 2(0,\lambda)=\Phi_{20}(0,\lambda)=0. \] Let \(\| \rho_{jk}(\lambda)\|^ 2_{j,k=1}\), \(\| \rho_{jk}^{[0]}(\lambda)\|^ 2_{j,k=1}\) be the spectral matrix functions of equations (1) and (2) respectively. The author proves that, under suitable assumptions on the solutions of (1) and on the spectral matrix functions of (1) and (2), the dash potential r(x) is bounded on the axis (-\(\infty,\infty)\).
