We consider the second-order operator

1

where the coefficients are real continuous functions on an interval ℐ with w and p positive. The operator is assumed singular at only one endpoint which we take to be either 0 (finite singularity) or ∞ (infinite singularity). Let be the Hilbert space of all complex-valued, measurable functions f satisfying
