Eigenvalue problems of Atkinson, Feller and Krein, and their mutual relationship

Hans Volkmer

Abstract:
It is shown that every regular Krein-Feller eigenvalue problem can be transformed to a semidefinite Sturm-Liouville problem introduced by Atkinson. This makes it possible to transfer results between the corresponding theories. In particular, Prüfer angle methods become available for Krein-Feller problems.
