Abstract

We determine square root domains for non-self-adjoint Sturm--Liouville operators of the type Lp,q,r,s=ddxpddx+rddxddxs+q L_{p,q,r,s} = - \frac{d}{dx}p\frac{d}{dx}+r\frac{d}{dx}-\frac{d}{dx}s+q in L2((c,d);dx)L^2((c,d);dx), where either (c,d)(c,d) coincides with the real line R\mathbb{R}, the half-line (a,)(a,\infty), aRa \in \mathbb{R}, or with the bounded interval (a,b)R(a,b) \subset \mathbb{R}, under very general conditions on the coefficients q,r,sq, r, s. We treat Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions at aa in the half-line case, and Dirichlet and/or Neumann boundary conditions at a,ba,b in the final interval context. (In the particular case p=1p=1 a.e.\ on (a,b)(a,b), we treat all separated boundary conditions at a,ba, b.)
