The form of the spectral functions associated with Sturm-Liouville problems with continuous spectrum
Part of:
Boundary value problems
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2010
Extract
We consider the spectral function, ρα(μ), for –∞<μ<∞ associated with the Sturm-Liouville equation
and the boundary condition
We suppose that q is a real-valued member of L1[0, ∞) and λ is a real parameter.
