Let M denote the formally symmetric, second-order differential expression given by, for suitably differentiable complex-valued functions ƒ,

The coefficients p and q are real-valued, Lebesgue measurable on the halfclosed, half-open interval [a, b) of the real line, with - ∞ < a < b ≦ ∞, and satisfy the basic conditions:
