TY - JOUR A1 - Shlapunov, Alexander A1 - Tarkhanov, Nikolai Nikolaevich T1 - On completeness of root functions of Sturm-Liouville problems with discontinuous boundary operators JF - Journal of differential equations N2 - We consider a Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem in a bounded domain D of R-n. By this is meant that the differential equation is given by a second order elliptic operator of divergent form in D and the boundary conditions are of Robin type on partial derivative D. The first order term of the boundary operator is the oblique derivative whose coefficients bear discontinuities of the first kind. Applying the method of weak perturbation of compact selfadjoint operators and the method of rays of minimal growth, we prove the completeness of root functions related to the boundary value problem in Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces of various types.
