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 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…
