Synopsis

An inequality of C. R. Putnam involving a Dirichlet functional in the singular theory of the Sturm-Liouville differential equation is generalised. The corresponding result for the Sturm-Liouville theory over a compact interval is established and this is extended to the singular case by means of a Tauberian argument.
