Part I of this paper deals with two-dimensional canonical systems y ′ (x) = yJH(x)y(x), x ∈ (a, b), whose Hamiltonian H is non-negative and locally integrable, and where Weyl's limit point case takes place at both endpoints a and b. We investigate a class of such systems defined by growth restrictions on H towards a. For example, Hamiltonians on (0, ∞) of the form H(x) := x −α 0 0 1where α < 2 are included in this class. We develop a direct and inverse spectral theory parallel to the theory of Weyl and de Branges for systems in the limit circle case at a. Our approach proceeds via -and is bound to -Pontryagin space theory. It relies on spectral theory and operator models in such spaces, and on the theory of de Branges Pontryagin spaces.The main results concerning the direct problem are: (1) showing existence of regularized boundary values at a; (2) construction of a singular Weyl coefficient and a scalar spectral measure; (3) construction of a Fourier transform and computation of its action and the action of its inverse as integral transforms. The main results for the inverse problem are: (4) characterization of the class of measures occuring above (positive Borel measures with power growth at ±∞); (5) a global uniqueness theorem (if Weyl functions or spectral measures coincide, Hamiltonians essentially coincide); (6) a local uniqueness theorem (if Weyl functions coincide up to an exponentially small error, Hamiltonians essentially coincide up to a certain point).In Part II of the paper the results of Part I are applied to Sturm-Liouville equations with singular coefficients. We investigate classes of equations without potential (in particular, equations in impedance form) and Schrödinger equations, where coefficients are assumed to be singular but subject to growth restrictions. For example, potentials on (0, ∞) of the form V (x) = l(l+1)x 2 + V0(x) with xV0(x)| (0,1) ∈ L 1 (0, 1), l > − 1 2 , or (ln x)xV0(x)| (0,1) ∈ L 1 (0, 1), l = − 1 2 , or oscillatory potentials of the form V (x) = −x −4 • (sin 1x )(2 + sin 1 x ) −1 + O(x −3 ) in the vicinity of 0 are included. We obtain corresponding direct and inverse spectral theorems.

“…In both cases elements in the domain of A p,w defined via (7.11) satisfy some boundary condition of b. ♦ It follows from[93, Theorem 3.7] that, under the condition (p; w) ∈ K SL , one has H ∈ H, the functions w l from (3.13) corresponding to H from (7.7) satisfy…”

“…Further in the Introduction we discuss the mentioned above topics in greater detail and give various references. We note that canonical (spectral canonical) systems have been actively studied in the literature (see the books [7,14,32,34], quite recent papers [1,21,36] and various references therein). Using circumflex accent to denote Fourier transform in the complex domain, that is, setting 4) and formally applying Fourier transform to both sides of (1.2), we derive…”
