Abstract

We investigate the boundary-value problem generated by the Sturm-Liouville equation with
discontinuous coefficients, eigenparameter dependent boundary conditions and transmission conditions
at the point of discontinuity. With a different approach we introduce an adequate Hilbert space
formulation, investigate some properties of eigenvalues, Green’s function and resolvent operator, and
find simple conditions on the coefficients which guarantee the self-adjointness of the considered
problem.
