The regular Sturm–Liouville problem

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

is studied subject to boundary conditions

$$ P_j(\lambda)y'(j)=Q_j(\lambda)y(j),\quad j=0,1, $$

where $q\in L^1(0,1)$ and $P_j$ and $Q_j$ are polynomials with real coefficients. A comparison is made between this problem and the corresponding ‘reduced’ one where all common factors are removed from the boundary conditions. Topics treated include Jordan chain structure, eigenvalue asymptotics and eigenfunction oscillation.
