Extract

In [5] Kalf obtained a characterization of the Friedrichs extension TF of a general semi-bounded Sturm–Liouville operator T, the only assumptions made on the coefficients being those necessary for T to be defined. The domain D(TF) of TF was described in terms of ‘weighted’ Dirichiet integrals involving the principal and non-principal solutions of an associated non-oscillatory Sturm–Liouville equation. Conditions which ensure that members of D(TF) have a finite Dirichlet integral were subsequently given by Rosenberger in [7].
