Theorem
Let $ P, Q : \R \to \R $ be real mappings such that $ P $ is smooth and positive, while $ Q $ is continuous:


 * $ \displaystyle P \left ( { x } \right ) \in C^\infty $


 * $ \displaystyle P \left ( { x } \right ) > 0 $


 * $ \displaystyle Q \left ( { x } \right ) \in C^0 $

Let the Sturm-Liouville equation be of the form:


 * $ - \left ( { P y' } \right )' + Qy = \lambda y $

satisfy the following boundary conditions:


 * $ y \left ( { a } \right ) = y \left ( { b } \right ) = 0 $

and $ \lambda \in \R $.

Then the Sturm-Liouville problem has an infinite sequence of eigenvalues $ \{ { \lambda^{ \left ( { n } \right ) } } \} $.

Furthermore, to each $ \lambda^{ \left ( { n } \right ) } $ corresponds an eigenfunction $ y^{ \left ( { n } \right ) } $, unique up to a constant factor.

Proof
The given Sturm-Liouville equation is an Euler equation of the following functional:


 * $ \displaystyle J \left [ { y } \right ] = \int_a^b \left ( { Py'^2 + Qy^2 } \right ) \mathrm d x $

together with a subsidiary condition:


 * $ \displaystyle \int_a^b y^2 \mathrm d x = 1$

Thus, if $ y $ is an extremum of $ J $, it is also a solution of the Sturm-Liouville equation.

Since $ P > 0 $, it holds that:


 * $ \displaystyle \int_a^b \left ( { Py'^2 + Qy^2 } \right ) \mathrm d x > \int_a^b Qy^2 \mathrm d x \ge M \int_a^b y^2 \mathrm d x = M $

where


 * $ \displaystyle M = \min_{ a \le x \le b } Q \left ( { x } \right )$

Introduce a new variable $ \displaystyle t = \pi \frac{ x - a }{ b - a } $.

Then the interval of consideration $ \left [ { a \,. \,. \, b } \right ] $ is mapped onto $ \left [ { 0 \,. \,. \, \pi } \right ] $.

Choose $ \{ { \phi_n \left ( { t } \right ) } \} = \{ { \sin nt  } \}$

Since $ n \in \N $, the elements of this sequence are orthogonal:


 * $ \displaystyle \int_0^\pi \sin \left ( { k t } \right ) \sin \left ( { l t } \right ) \mathrm d x = \frac{ \pi }{ 2 } \delta_{ k l } $

Thus, the trial solution is of the following form:


 * $ \displaystyle y \left ( { x } \right ) = \sum_{ k = 1 }^n \alpha_k \sin \left ( { k t \left ( { x } \right ) } \right ) $

Trial solution has to satisfy boundary and subsidiary conditions.

Boundary conditions are satisfied trivially.

Subsidiary condition results into an additional constraint on coefficients $ \alpha_k $:

For the assumed trial function the functional $ J $ reads as:


 * $ \displaystyle J_n \left ( { \boldsymbol \alpha } \right ) = \int_0^\pi \left [ { P \left ( { \sum_{ k = 1 }^n \alpha_k \sin kx } \right )'^2 + Q  \left ( { \sum_{ k = 1 }^n \alpha_k \sin k x  } \right )^2 } \right ] \mathrm d x $


 * $ y_n^{ \left ( { 1 } \right ) } \left ( { x } \right ) = \sum_{ k = 1 }^n \alpha_k^{ \left ( { 1 } \right ) } \sin kx $


 * $ \{ { \lambda_n^{ \left ( { 1 } \right ) } } \} $


 * $ \{ { y_n^{ \left ( { 1 } \right ) } } \} $


 * $ J_n \left ( { \alpha_1, \ldots, \alpha_n } \right ) = J_{ n + 1 } \left ( { \alpha_1, \ldots, \alpha_n, 0 } \right ) $


 * $ \lambda_{ n + 1 }^{ \left ( { 1 } \right ) } \le \lambda_n^{ \left ( { 1 } \right ) } $


 * $ \lambda^{ \left ( { 1 } \right ) } = \lim_{ n \to \infty } \lambda_n^{ \left ( { 1 } \right ) } $


 * $ \lambda_n^{ \left ( { 1 } \right ) } = \int_0^\pi \left ( { Py_n'^2 + Qy_n^2 } \right ) \mathrm d x $
