Abstract
The purpose here is to study a type of perturbation problem, arising from a differential equation, which is not included in the realm of analytic or asymptotic perturbation theory [4], [6]. Such a problem arises when the domain of the differential operator has been subjected to a variation (rather than the formal operator). We propose to outline one simple problem of this type, concerned with a second order ordinary differential operator. Our purpose is to obtain asymptotic estimates for the characteristic values of a regular Sturm-Liouville problem on a closed interval [a, b] when b is near a singular point of the differential operator. Similar results have been obtained in [3], [8], and [9] by other methods.
