“…Since then many results concerning eigenvalue asymptotics for concrete boundary value problems generated by the Sturm-Liouville equation and similar equations have been published, see, e. g., [17], [84] and the references therein. Asymptotics for the eigenvalues of the generalized Regge problem (7.2.5)-(7.2.7) with α = 1 were obtained in [101]. However, asymptotics of the classical Regge problem, that is, the case when α = 1 and β = 0, being investigated for a long time are not completely known.…”
