Spectral Theory 2011-12-13 v1

Abstract

The present paper deals with the spectral and the oscillation properties of a linear pencil AλBA-\lambda B. Here AA and BB are linear operators generated by the differential expressions (py")"(py")" and y"+cry-y"+ cry, respectively. In particular, it is shown that the negative eigenvalues of this problem are simple and the corresponding eigenfunctions yny_{-n} have n1n-1 zeros in (0,1)(0,1).
