On the stability of the limit-point property of “Kauffman expressions” under relatively bounded perturbations

Abstract

SynopsisIn this paper we show that for the whole class of differential expressions in the limit-point case considered by Kauffman in [2], the perturbation theory yields a limit-point criterion for a much wider class of ordinary differential expressions. More general coefficients are admitted which may be eventually negative provided they are “dominated” by some other positive coefficients. This generalises results in [4], [5] and [6].
