Abstract

This work is devoted to discuss some spectral properties and the scattering function of the impulsive operator generated by the Sturm-Liouville equation. We present a different method to investigate the spectral singularities and eigenvalues of the mentioned operator. We also obtain the finiteness of eigenvalues and spectral singularities with finite multiplicities under some certain conditions. Finally, we illustrate our results by a detailed example.

Keywords: Eigenvalues; Impulsive operators; Scattering function; Spectral singularities; Sturm–Liouville equations.
