Abstract

We study the finite spectrum of Sturm–Liouville problems with transmission conditions and eigenparameter-dependent boundary conditions. For any positive integers m and n, we construct a class of regular Sturm–Liouville problems with transmission conditions and eigenparameter-dependent boundary conditions, which have at most m + n + 4 eigenvalues.
