We systematically develop Weyl–Titchmarsh theory for singular differential operators on arbitrary intervals (a, b) ⊆ R associated with rather general differential expressions of the type τ f = 1 r − p[f ′ + sf ] ′ + sp[f ′ + sf ] + qf , In particular, this setup implies that τ permits a distributional potential coefficient in W −1,1 loc ((a, b)) and H −1 loc ((a, b)). We study maximal and minimal Sturm–Liouville operators, all self-adjoint restrictions of the maximal operator Tmax, or equivalently, all self-adjoint extensions of the minimal operator T min , all self-adjoint boundary conditions (separated and coupled ones), and describe the resolvent of any self-adjoint extension of T min. In addition, we characterize the principal object of this paper, the singular Weyl–Titchmarsh–Kodaira m-function corresponding to any self-adjoint extension with separated boundary conditions and derive the corresponding spectral transformation. We also deal with principal solutions and characterize the Friedrichs extension of T min. Finally, in the special case where τ is regular, we characterize the Krein– von Neumann extension of T min and also characterize all boundary conditions that lead to positivity preserving resolvents (and hence semigroups).
