Abstract
Since the classical linear Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem is
self-adjoint it possesses a family of eigenfunctions which form an
orthonormal basis for the space $L_2$. It is natural to ask if a
similar result holds for nonlinear problems. In the present paper
we examine the basis property for eigenfunctions of nonlinear
Sturm-Liouville equations subject to general linear, separated
boundary conditions.
