The present paper is concerned with the spectral theory of nonlocal Sturm–Liouville eigenvalue problems on a finite interval. The continuity, differentiability and comparison results of eigenvalues with respect to the nonlocal potentials are studied, and the oscillation properties of eigenfunctions are investigated. The comparison result of eigenvalues and the oscillation properties of eigenfunctions indicate that the spectral properties of nonlocal problems are very different from those of classical Sturm–Liouville problems. Some examples are given to explain this essential difference.
The present paper is concerned with the uniform boundedness of the normalized eigenfunctions of Sturm–Liouville problems and shows that the sequence of eigenvalues is uniformly local Lipschitz continuous with respect to the weighted functions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
