We consider the Sturm–Liouville equation

$$ -y''+qy=\lambda y\quad\text{on }[0,1], $$

subject to the boundary conditions

$$ y(0)\cos\alpha=y'(0)\sin\alpha,\quad\alpha\in[0,\pi), $$

and

$$\frac{y'}{y}(1)=a\lambda+b-\sum_{k=1}^N\frac{b_k}{\lambda-c_k}. $$

Topics treated include existence and asymptotics of eigenvalues, oscillation of eigenfunctions, and transformations between such problems.
