On the negative squares of indefinite Sturm–Liouville operators
Journal of Differential Equations, 2007 Sturm--Liouville operators on the half-line \(x>0\) are studied. The number of negative squares of all self-adjoint extensions of a simple symmetric operator of defect one with finitely many negative squares is characterized in terms of the behaviour of an abstract Titchmarsh--Weyl function near \(0\) and \(\infty\).
