Asymptotics of the eigenvalues and Abel basis property of the root functions of new type Sturm-Liouville problems

Abstract

This work investigates spectrum and root functions (that is, eigen- and associated functions) of a Sturm-Liouville problem involving an abstract linear operator (nonselfadjoint in general) in the equation together with supplementary transmission conditions at the one interior singular point. So, the problem under consideration is not pure differential pro lem. At first we establish isomorphism and coerciveness with respect to the spectral parameter for the corresponding nonhomogeneous problem. Then by suggesting an own our method we prove that the spectrum of the considered problem is discrete and derive an asymptotic approximation formulas for the eigenvalues. We must note that Asymptotics of the eigenvalues of such type problems is investigated at first in literature in the present work and the obtained results are new even in the continuous case (i.e. without transmission conditions). Finally it is shown that the system of root functions form an Abel basis of the corresponding Hilbert space.
