Abstract: The present paper deals with the spectral and the oscillation properties of a linear pencil A−lambdaB. Here A and B are linear operators generated by the differential expressions and , respectively. In particular, it is shown that the negative eigenvalues of this problem are simple and the corresponding eigenfunctions y−n have n−1 zeros in (0,1).


The authors consider the spectral problem related to the differential equation \[ (py) - \lambda ( - y + cry) = 0 \] with some of the sets of boundary conditions \[ y(0) = y'(0) = y(1) = y'(1) = 0 \] or \[ y(0) = y'(0) = y'(1) = (py)'(1) - \lambda \alpha y(1). \] Here, the coefficients \(p,r\in C[0,1]\) are uniformly positive, and the physical parameters \(c\) and \(\alpha\) are real. In addition to the above boundary conditions, the solutions \(y\) satisfy the natural restrictions \(y \in C^2 [0,1]\) and \(py \in C^2 [0,1]\). The main goal is to study the simplicity of eigenvalues of the problem under consideration and the oscillatory properties of its eigenfunctions.
