By constructing some new Lagrange-type identities and two fundamental functions, we obtain not only the existence, the simplicity, and the interlacing properties of the real eigenvalues, but also the oscillation properties, orthogonality of the eigenfunctions, and the expansion theorem. Finally, we also give a computation scheme for computing eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of specific eigenvalue problems. Key words

Introduction

Spectra of the eigenvalue problems with eigenparameter-dependent boundary conditions have been discussed in a long history. In 1820s, Poisson [42] derived an ODE model with eigenparameter-dependent boundary conditions from a pendulum problem. After that, lots of eigenvalue problems with eigenparameter-dependent boundary conditions are derived from different subjects, such as, biology, engineering, heat conduction, and so on; see, for instance, [1, 6, 8, 14, 20, 21, 40, 46, 47]. Therefore, many excellent and interesting eigenvalue results for both the continuous eigenvalue problems and the discrete eigenvalue problems with eigenparameterdependent boundary conditions have been obtained; see, for instance, [1–6, 8–12, 14–18, 20, 21, 23–27, 29, 30, 36]. In [15–18, 37, 38], the authors developed several general eigenvalue theories in different spaces for boundary value problems with eigenparameter-dependent boundary value conditions. Meanwhile, by using Pr¨ ufer transformation, Binding et al. [9–12] obtained SturmLiouville theories of the second-order continuous eigenvalue problems with eigenparameter∗ Received

dependent boundary conditions, including the existence, simplicity, and interlacing properties of eigenvalues and the oscillation properties of corresponding eigenfunctions. Furthermore, using different methods, Aliyev [2–6, 36] also obtained a series of basic properties of systems of root functions in different spaces for several eigenvalue problems with eigenparameter-dependent boundary conditions. For the discrete case, there are also several i
