§1.13(viii) Eigenvalues and Eigenfunctions: Sturm-Liouville and Liouville forms
This is the Sturm-Liouville form of a second order differential equation, where denotes d d x . … For a regular Sturm-Liouville system, equations (1.13.26) and (1.13.29) have: (i) identical eigenvalues, λ ; (ii) the corresponding (real) eigenfunctions, u ( x ) and w ( t ) , have the same number of zeros, also called nodes, for t ( 0 , c ) as for x ( a , b ) ; (iii) the eigenfunctions also satisfy the same type of boundary conditions, un-mixed or periodic, for both forms at the corresponding boundary points. …

The spectral theory of these operators, based on Sturm-Liouville and Liouville normal forms, distribution theory, is now discussed more completely, including linear algebra, matrices, matrices as linear operators, orthonormal expansions, Stieltjes integrals/measures, generating functions. …

  • 3: 18.36 Miscellaneous Polynomials
    These results are proven in Everitt et al. (2004), via construction of a self-adjoint SturmLiouville operator which generates the L n ( k ) ( x ) polynomials, self-adjointness implying both orthogonality and completeness. … Exceptional type I X m -EOP’s, form a complete orthonormal set with respect to a positive measure, but the lowest order polynomial in the set is of order m , or, said another way, the first m polynomial orders, 0 , 1 , , m 1 are missing. … The y ( x ) = L ^ n ( k ) ( x ) satisfy a second order SturmLiouville eigenvalue problem of the type illustrated in Table 18.8.1, as satisfied by classical OP’s, but now with rational, rather than polynomial coefficients: … In §18.39(i) it is seen that the functions, w ( x ) H ^ n + 3 ( x ) , are solutions of a Schrödinger equation with a rational potential energy; and, in spite of first appearances, the Sturm oscillation theorem, Simon (2005c, Theorem 3.3, p. 35), is satisfied. …

    These are based on the Liouville normal form of (1.13.29). … The materials developed here follow from the extensions of the SturmLiouville theory of second order ODEs as developed by Weyl, to include the limit point and limit circle singular cases. …Friedman (1990) provides a useful introduction to both approaches; as does the conference proceeding Amrein et al.

    The orthonormal stationary states and corresponding eigenvalues are then of the formAn important, and perhaps unexpected, feature of the EOP’s is now pointed out by noting that for 1D Schrödinger operators, or equivalent Sturm-Liouville ODEs, having discrete spectra with L 2 eigenfunctions vanishing at the end points, in this case ± see Simon (2005c, Theorem 3.3, p. 35), such eigenfunctions satisfy the Sturm oscillation theorem. …, k = 1 , there might be 3 nodes, rather than Sturm’s 1. …Both satisfy Sturm’s theorem. … These, taken together with the infinite sets of bound states for each l , form complete sets. …
