Eigenvalues of Sturm-Liouville operators and prime numbers

Rauf Amirov, Ibrahim Adalar

Abstract:
We show that there is no function $q(x)\in L_2(0,1)$ which is the potential of a Sturm-Liouville problem with Dirichlet boundary condition whose spectrum is a set depending nonlinearly on the set of prime numbers as suggested by Mingarelli [7].
