MSC Classification: 34L20; 35R10The purpose of this study is to investigate a Schrödinger type of boundary-value-transmission problem with retarded argument. By modifying some techniques of [S.B. Norkin, Differential equations of the second order with retarded argument, Translations of Mathematical Monographs, Vol. 31, AMS, Providence, RI, 1972] and suggesting own approaches, we find asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the second-order differential equation with retarded argument, which includes the eigenparameter as a quadratic function. KEYWORDS asymptotics of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions, differential equation with retarded argument, transmission conditionsHere, q(x) is a real valued function and continuous in I with a finite limit q (b ± 0) = lim x→b±0 q(x); the real valued function Δ(x) ⩾ 0 continuous in I and has a finite limit c]; the real valued function p(x) is continuous in I such that p(b) = p(c) = p 0 (p 0 ∈ R); is a real eigenparameter; and , , ≠ 0 are arbitrary real numbers.
