On impulsive Sturm–Liouville operators with singularity and spectral parameter in boundary conditions

  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

We study properties and the asymptotic behavior of spectral characteristics for a class of singular Sturm–Liouville differential operators with discontinuity conditions and an eigenparameter in boundary conditions. We also determine theWeyl function for this problem and prove uniqueness theorems for a solution of the inverse problem corresponding to this function and spectral data.
