Sturm-Liouville Problem: When does $w y^2$ vanish at a singular boundary point?
It is well known (e.g. Courant, Hilbert - Methods of Mathematical Physics) that solutions of the Sturm-Liouville problem on an interval $J=(a,b)$
\begin{equation} \tag{1}
\left(p y' \right)' - qy \; = ...

Singular Sturm-Liouville problems: criterion for discrete spectrum for zero potential ($q=0$) and Hermite Polynomials
There are some known criteria for the Sturm-Liouville Problem
\begin{equation} \tag{1}
\frac {\mathrm {d} }{\mathrm {d} x}\left[p(x){\frac {\mathrm {d} y}{\mathrm {d} x}}\right]+q(x)y=-\lambda w(x)y

Spectral Gap of Elliptic Operator
Under what conditions on $a(x)$ and domain $D$, the spectral gap of the elliptic operator $ \nabla \cdot(a(x)\cdot \nabla)$ defined on $D$, can be controlled?
The boundary condition is that the ...
