Abstract
In this paper, discontinuous Sturm–Liouville problems, which contain eigenvalue parameters both in the equation and in one of the boundary conditions, are investigated. By using an operatortheoretic interpretation we extend some classic results for regular Sturm–Liouville problems and obtain asymptotic approximate formulae for eigenvalues and normalized eigenfunctions. We modify some techniques of [Fulton, C. T., Proc. Roy. Soc. Edin. 77 (A), 293–308 (1977)], [Walter, J., Math. Z., 133, 301–312 (1973)] and [Titchmarsh, E. C., Eigenfunctions Expansion Associated with Second Order Differential Equations I, 2nd edn., Oxford Univ. Pres, London, 1962], then by using these techniques we obtain asymptotic formulae for eigenelement norms and normalized eigenfunctions.
