Abstract

The Green function of singular limit-circle problems is constructed directly for the problem, not as a limit of sequences of regular Green's functions. This construction is used to obtain adjointness and self-adjointness conditions which are entirely analogous to the regular case. As an application, a new and explicit formula for the Green function of the classical Legendre problem is found.
