Extract

The spectral function ρα(μ) (−∞<μ<∞) associated with the Sturm–Liouville equation

and a boundary condition

is a non-decreasing function of μ which is defined in terms of the Titchmarsh–Weyl function mα(λ) for (1.1) and (1.2). Thus, taking into account a standardization of the sign attached to mα(λ), we have
