Abstract: We extend the classical boundary values �egin{align*} & g(a) = - W(u_{a}(lambda_0,.), g)(a) = lim_{x downarrow a} frac{g(x)}{hat u_{a}(lambda_0,x)}, \ &g^{[1]}(a) = (p g')(a) = W(hat u_{a}(lambda_0,.), g)(a) = lim_{x downarrow a} frac{g(x) - g(a) hat u_{a}(lambda_0,x)}{u_{a}(lambda_0,x)} end{align*} for regular Sturm-Liouville operators associated with differential expressions of the type $au=r(x{)}^{-1}[-(d/dx)p(x)(d/dx)+q(x)]$ for a.e. $xin[a,b]subsetmathbbR$, to the case where $au$ is singular on $(a,b)subseteqmathbbR$ and the associated minimal operator $T_{min}$ is bounded from below. Here $u_a(lambd{a}_0,cdot)$ and $hat{u}_a(lambd{a}_0,cdot)$ denote suitably normalized principal and nonprincipal solutions of $auu=lambd{a}_{0}u$ for appropriate $lambd{a}_{0}inmathbbR$, respectively. We briefly discuss the singular Weyl-Titchmarsh-Kodaira $m$-function and finally illustrate the theory in some detail with the examples of the Bessel, Legendre, and Kummer (resp., Laguerre) operators.
