Abstract Sufficient conditions for the similarity of the operator A : = 1 r ( x ) ( − d 2 d x 2 + q ( x ) ) with an indefinite weight r ( x ) = ( sgn x ) | r ( x ) | are obtained. These conditions are formulated in terms of Titchmarsh–Weyl m-coefficients. Sufficient conditions for the regularity of the critical points 0 and ∞ of J-nonnegative Sturm–Liouville operators are also obtained. This result is exploited to prove the regularity of 0 for various classes of Sturm–Liouville operators. This implies the similarity of the considered operators to self-adjoint ones. In particular, in the case r ( x ) = sgn x and q ∈ L 1 ( R , ( 1 + | x | ) d x ) , we prove that A is similar to a self-adjoint operator if and only if A is J-nonnegative. The latter condition on q is sharp, i.e., we construct q ∈ ⋂ γ 1 L 1 ( R , ( 1 + | x | ) γ d x ) such that A is J-nonnegative with the singular critical point 0. Hence A is not similar to a self-adjoint operator. For periodic and infinite-zone potentials, we show that J-positivity is sufficient for the similarity of A to a self-adjoint operator. In the case q ≡ 0 , we prove the regularity of the critical point 0 for a wide class of weights r. This yields new results for “forward–backward” diffusion equations.

We consider a singular Sturm-Liouville expression with the indefinite weight sgnx. To this expression there is naturally a self-adjoint operator in some Krein space associated. We characterize the local definitizability of this operator in a neighbourhood of 1. Moreover, in this situation, the point 1 is a regular critical point. We construct an operator A = (sgnx)(id 2 /dx 2 + q) with non-real spectrum accumulating to a real point. The obtained results are applied to several classes of Sturm-Liouville operators.

The relation between the following two properties of linear difference equations with infinite delay is investigated: (i) exponential stability and (ii) -input -state stability (Perrons property) which means that solutions of the non-homogeneous equation with zero initial data belong to when non-homogeneous terms are in . It is assumed that at each moment the prehistory (the sequence of preceding states) belongs to some weighted -space with an exponentially fading weight (the phase space). Our main result states that whenever and a certain boundedness condition on coefficients is fulfilled. This condition is sharp and ensures that, to some extent, exponential and -input -state stabilities do not depend on the choice of a phase space and parameters p and q. -input -state stability corresponds to uniform stability. We provide some evidence that similar criteria should not be expected for non-fading memory spaces.

We consider “forward-backward” parabolic equations in the abstract form Jdψ/dx+Lψ = 0, 0 < x ≤∞, where J and L are operators in a Hilbert space H such that J = J* = J −1, L = L* ≥0, and ker L = {0}. The following theorem is proved: if the operator B = JL is similar to a self-adjoint operator, then associated half-range boundary problems have unique solutions. We apply this theorem to corresponding nonhomogeneous equations, to the time-independent Fokker-Plank equation \( \mu \frac{{\partial \psi }} {{\partial x}}(x,\mu ) = b(\mu )\frac{{\partial ^2 \psi }} {{\partial \mu ^2 }}(x,\mu ) \) 0 < x < τ, μ ∈ ℝ, as well as to other parabolic equations of the “forwardbackward” type. The abstract kinetic equation Tdψ/dx = −Aψ(x)+f(x), where T = T* is injective and A satisfies a certain positivity assumption, is also considered. The method is based on the Krein space theory.

Abstract.We study the Cauchy problem with periodic initial data for the forward-backward heat equation defined by a J-self-adjoint linear operator L depending on a small parameter. The problem originates from the lubrication approximation of a viscous fluid film on the inner surface of a rotating cylinder. For a certain range of the parameter we rigorously prove the conjecture, based on numerical evidence, that the complete set of eigenvectors of the operator L does not form a Riesz basis in
