Non-real eigenvalues of singular indefinite Sturm-Liouville operators

Non-real eigenvalues of singular indefinite Sturm-Liouville operators

We study a Sturm-Liouville expression with indefinite weight of the form $\mathrm {sgn}(-d^2/dx^2+V)$ on $\mathbb {R}$ and the non-real eigenvalues of an associated selfadjoint operator in a Krein space. For real-valued potentials $V$ with a certain behaviour at $\pm \infty$ we prove that there are no real eigenvalues and that …
