Abstract
We extend relative oscillation theory to the case of Sturm–Liouville operators Hu=r−1(−(pu′)′+qu) with different p's. We show that the weighted number of zeros of Wronskians of certain solutions equals the value of Krein's spectral shift function inside essential spectral gaps.
Keywords: Sturm–Liouville operators; Oscillation theory; Spectral shift function
