Denote by \\(u_q(t)\\) the nontrivial solution of (1) satisfying \\(u_q(0)=0\\) and let \\(b>0\\) be its first positive zero, i.e., \\(u_q(b)=0\\) and \\(u_q(t)>0\\), \\(t\\in (0,b)\\). The Sturm comparison theorem and the Lyapunov inequality give the estimates  \\[  \\| q\\|_{\\infty}:=\\max_{t\\in [0,b]}\\left|q(t)\\right|\\geq \\frac{\\pi^2}{b},\\quad \\| q\\|_1:=\\int_0^b |q(t)|\\,dt>\\frac{4}{b}.  \\]  The paper establishes similar bounds for the \\(L^p\\) norms with \\(1<p<\\infty\\). The main result of the paper reads as follows.  {Theorem.} Let  \\[  W:=\\left\\{q\\in L^p[0,10]:\\,\\int_0^{10} |q(t)|^p\\,dt\\leq 1\\right\\},  \\]  where \\(1<p<\\infty\\). The infimum \\(\\beta=\\inf_{q\\in W}\\{t\\in (0,10]: u_q(t)=0\\}\\) is given by the formula  \\[  \\beta=\\beta(p)=\\left\\{\\frac{(2p-1)^{2p-1}}{p^p(p-1)^{p-1}} B\\left(\\frac{2p-1}{2p},\\frac{1}{2}\\right)^{2p}\\right\\}^{1/(2p-1)},  \\]  where \\(B(x,y)\\) is the Euler Beta function.  The upper bound of the interval under consideration is given by the fact that a continuous function close to the function \\(q(t)=1/\\pi^2\\), \\(t\\in [0,\\pi^2]\\), \\(q(t)=0\\), \\(t\\geq \\pi^2\\) gives \\(\\beta\\sim \\pi^2<10\\). The idea of the proof of Theorem is that (1) is replaced by the integral equation  \\[  u(t)=\\int_0^t (t-s)q(s)u(s)=t, \\quad t\\in [0,10],  \\]  and this equation is studied in detail.  This is a nice paper presenting an interesting new result in the classical topic as the distribution of zeros of Jacobi equation (1).","citation":[{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q2437482"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3517465"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q2897168"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q5330830"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q5612063"}]},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2025-07-02T17:33:14Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
