We investigate the problem of similarity to a self-adjoint operator for $J$-positive Sturm-Liouville operators $L=\frac{1}{\omega}(-\frac{d^2}{dx^2}+q)$ with $2\pi$-periodic coefficients $q$ and $\omega$. It is shown that if 0 is a critical…
We consider a Sturm--Liouville operator $Ly=-y''+qy$ in $L_2[0,\pi]$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We assume, that the potential $q$ is complex valued and belongs to Sobolev space $W_2^\theta[0,\pi]$, $\theta\in(-1,-1/2$. This…
We study the solvability of boundary-value problems for differential-operator equations of the second order in L p (0, 1; X), with 1 < p < +$\infty$, X being a UMD complex Banach space. The originality of this work lies in the fact that we…

The main goal of this paper is to propose an approach to inverse spectral problems for functional-differential operators (FDO) with involution. For definiteness, we focus on the second-order FDO with involution-reflection. Our approach is…
The questions of dense definiteness and boundedness of composition operators in $L^2$-spaces are studied by means of inductive limits of operators. Methods based on projective systems of measure spaces and inductive limits of $L^2$-spaces…
Eigenvalues in the essential spectrum of a weighted Sturm-Liouville operator are studied under the assumption that the weight function has one turning point. An abstract approach to the problem is given via a functional model for indefinite…
We prove the long standing conjecture in the theory of two-point boundary value problems that completeness and Dunford's spectrality imply Birkhoff regularity. In addition we establish the even order part of S.G.Krein's conjecture that…
In this paper, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for $L^{\infty}$-uniqueness of Sturm-Liouville operator $a(x)\frac{d^2}{dx^2} + b(x) \frac d{dx} -V$ on an open interval of $\rr$, which is equivalent to the $L^1$-uniqueness of…
For the classical Sturm-Liouville operators, we prove the sharp bounds for all nodes of eigenfunctions by regarding these nodes as nonlinear functionals of potential $q\in L^1[0,1]$. By studying the optimization problems to minimize or to…
