We develop relative oscillation theory for one-dimensional Dirac operators which, rather than measuring the spectrum of one single operator, measures the difference between the spectra of two different operators. This is done by replacing…
We extend relative oscillation theory to the case of Sturm--Liouville operators $H u = r^{-1}(-(pu')'+q u)$ with different $p$'s. We show that the weighted number of zeros of Wronskians of certain solutions equals the value of Krein's…

We consider the Schr\"odinger operator on a star shaped graph with $n$ edges joined at a single vertex. We derive an expression for the trace of the difference of the perturbed and unperturbed resolvent in terms of a Wronskian. This leads…
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…
