Continuous invertibility of minimal Sturm–Liouville operators in Lebesgue spaces

Abstract

Using a standard theory of differential operators in Lebesgue spaces, we re-prove and generalize some results of Chernyavskaya and Shuster, giving (mostly sufficient) conditions that minimal operators determined by expressions of the form −(ry′)′ + qy with domain and range in possibly different Lp spaces on intervals with at least one singular endpoint have bounded inverses.
