A functional model, eigenvalues, and finite singular critical points for indefinite Sturm-Liouville operators
Eigenvalues in the essential spectrum of a weighted Sturm-Liouville operator
are studied under the assumption that the weight function has one turning
point. An abstract approach to the problem is given via a functional model for
indefinite Sturm-Liouville operators. Algebraic multiplicities of eigenvalues
are obtained. Also, operators with finite singular critical points are
considered.Comment: 38 pages, Proposition 2.2 and its proof corrected, Remarks 2.5, 3.4,

Abstract kinetic equations with positive collision operators
We consider "forward-backward" parabolic equations in the abstract form , , where and are
operators in a Hilbert space such that , , and
. The following theorem is proved: if the operator is
similar to a self-adjoint operator, then associated half-range boundary
problems have unique solutions. We apply this theorem to corresponding
nonhomogeneous equations, to the time-independent Fokker-Plank equation , , , as well as to
other parabolic equations of the "forward-backward" type. The abstract kinetic
equation , where is injective and
satisfies a certain positivity assumption, is considered also.Comment: 20 pages, LaTeX2e, version 2, references have been added, changes in
