We show that there is no classical regular Sturm-Liouville problem on a finite interval whose spectrum consists of infinitely many distinct primes numbers. In particular, this answers in the negative a question raised by Zettl in his book on Sturm-Liouville theory. We also show that there {it may} exist such a problem if the parameter dependence is nonlinear.

We introduce and present the general solution of three two-term fractional differential equations of mixed Caputo/Riemann Liouville type. We then solve a Dirichlet type Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem for a fractional differential equation derived from a special composition of a Caputo and a Riemann-Liouville operator on a finite interval where the boundary conditions are induced by evaluating Riemann-Liouville integrals at those end-points. For each $1/2<alpha<1$ it is shown that there is a finite number of real eigenvalues, an infinite number of non-real eigenvalues, that the number of such real eigenvalues grows without bound as $alpha to 1^-$, and that the fractional operator converges to an ordinary two term Sturm-Liouville operator as $alpha to 1^-$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Finally, two-sided estimates as to their location are provided as is their asymptotic behavior as a function of $alpha$.
We continue the study of a non self-adjoint fractional three-term Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem (with a potential term) formed by the composition of a left Caputo and left-Riemann-Liouville fractional integral under {it Dirichlet type} boundary conditions. We study the existence and asymptotic behavior of the real eigenvalues and show that for certain values of the fractional differentiation parameter $alpha$, $0<alpha<1$, there is a finite set of real eigenvalues and that, for $alpha$ near $1/2$, there may be none at all. As $alpha to 1^-$ we show that their number becomes infinite and that the problem then approaches a standard Dirichlet Sturm-Liouville problem with the composition of the operators becoming the operator of second order differentiation.
Considering singular Sturm--Liouville differential expressions of the type [ tau_{alpha} = -(d/dx)x^{alpha}(d/dx) + q(x), quad x in (0,b), ; alpha in mathbb{R}, ] we employ some Sturm comparison-type results in the spirit of Kurss to derive criteria for $tau_{alpha}$ to be in the limit point and limit circle case at $x=0$. More precisely, if $alpha in mathbb{R}$ and for $0 < x$ sufficiently small, [ q(x) geq [(3/4)-(alpha/2)]x^{alpha-2}, ] or, if $alphain (-infty,2)$ and there exist $Ninmathbb{N}$, and $varepsilon>0$ such that for $0<x$ sufficiently small, begin{align*} &q(x)geq[(3/4)-(alpha/2)]x^{alpha-2} - (1/2) (2 - alpha) x^{alpha-2} sum_{j=1}^{N}prod_{ell=1}^{j}[ln_{ell}(x)]^{-1} &quadquadquad +[(3/4)+varepsilon] x^{alpha-2}[ln_{1}(x)]^{-2}. end{align*} then $tau_{alpha}$ is nonoscillatory and in the limit point case at $x=0$. Here iterated logarithms for $0 < x$ sufficiently small are of the form, [ ln_1(x) = |ln(x)| = ln(1/x), quad ln_{j+1}(x) = ln(ln_j(x)), quad j in mathbb{N}. ] Analogous results are derived for $tau_{alpha}$ to be in the limit circle case at $x=0$. We also discuss a multi-dimensional application to partial differential expressions of the type [ - Div |x|^{alpha} abla + q(|x|), quad alpha in mathbb{R}, ; x in B_n(0;R) backslash{0}, ] with $B_n(0;R)$ the open ball in $mathbb{R}^n$, $nin mathbb{N}$, $n geq 2$, centered at $x=0$ of radius $R in (0, infty)$.
Sturm-Liouville spectral problem for equation $-(y/r)+qy=lambda py$ with generalized functions $rge 0$, $q$ and $p$ is considered. It is shown that the problem may be reduced to analogous problem with $requiv 1$. The case of $q=0$ and self-similar $r$ and $p$ is considered as an example.
We consider Sturm-Liouville problems on the finite interval. We show that spectral data for the case of Dirichlet boundary conditions are equivalent to spectral data for Neumann boundary conditions. In particular, the solution of the inverse problem for the first one is equivalent to the solution of the inverse problem for the second one. Moreover, we discuss similar results for other Sturm-Liouville problems, including a periodic case.
