Title: Regularized trace of the Sturm-Liouville operator with irregular boundary conditions Author: Alexander Makin (Moscow State Univ., Russia) Abstract: We consider the spectral problem for the Sturm-Liouville equation with a complex-valued potential $q(x)$ and with irregular boundary conditions on the interval $(0,\pi)$. We establish a formula for the first regularized trace of the this operator. Submitted January 8, 2009. Published February 03, 2009. Math Subject Classifications: 34L05, 34B24.
