Synopsis

A proof is given of a formula connecting Weyl's function m(λ) with a spectral integral, in the setting of the singular theory of the Sturm-Liouville differential equation. In addition, a relatively short treatment is given of the argument introducing the function. The theory applies to both the limitpoint and limit-circle cases.
