Summary:

      This thesis is composed of two parts. In the first part, we give some basic theory related to regular Sturm-Liouville problem including the differential equation

Ly(x) ∶= a0(x)y′′(x) + a1(x) y′(x) + a2(x)

      with non-seperated boundary conditions

a11y(a) + a12y ′(a) + b11y(b) + b12 y ′(b) = 0

      a21y(a) + a22y ′(a) + b21y(b) + b22 y ′(b) = 0.

In the second part, we first prove some theoretical resullts for eigenvalue problems including self-adjointness, simple eigenvalues, green’s function and obtaining Δ discriminant function and then some asymptotic estimates for the eigenvalues of the boundary value problem including the differential equation

      y′′ (x) + (λ−q(x))y(x) = 0 , x ∈ [a,b]

with seperated boundary conditions

      a0 y(a) + a1y′(a) = 0

b0 y(b) + b1y′(b) = 0

      are obtained. The error term o(n−3) which appears in the asymptotic estimates of the eigenvalues in [3] is improved to o(n−4) in our same type of results.
