Synopsis

Second order differential expressions of the form w−1(−(pf′)′ + qf) are considered at a singular end-point. Some of the known relationships between properties such as Dirichlet, weak Dirichlet and strong limit-point, are extended to incorporate an arbitrary, positive weight function and complexvalued coefficients.
