Sturm-Liouville systems are Riesz-spectral systems

Cédric Delattre, Denis Dochain, Joseph Winkin

Abstract
The class of Sturm-Liouville systems is defined. It appears to be a subclass of Riesz-spectral systems, since it is shown that the negative of a Sturm-Liouville operator is a Riesz-spectral operator on L2(a, b) and the infinitesimal generator of a C0-semigroup of bounded linear operators.
