Synopsis

This article is concerned with eigenvalue problems of the form Au = λTu in a Hilbert space H, where Ais a selfadjoint positive operator generated by a second-order Sturm-Liouville differential expression and T a selfadjoint indefinite multiplicative operator which is one-to-one. Emphasis is on the full-range and partial-range expansionproperties of the eigenfunctions.
