Synopsis

Asymptotics are built for the solutions $yj(x,lambda)$, $yj(k)(0,lambda)=deltaj,n-k$, $0le j,k+1le n$ of the equation $L(y)=lambda p(x)y,quad xin [0,1],$ where $L(y)$ is a linear differential operator of whatever order $nge 2$ and $p(x)$ is assumed to possess a finite number of turning points. The established asymptotics are afterwards applied to the study the existence of infinite eigenvalue sequences for various multipoint boundary problems posed on $L(y)=lambda p(x)y,quad xin [0,1],$, especially as $n=2$ and $n=3$ (let us be aware that the same method can be successfully applied on many occasions in case $n>3$ too), and asymptotical distribution of the corresponding eigenvalue sequences on the complex plane.
