Sturm's theorem is a basic result for proving the existence of real zeroes of functions.
In 1829 he discovered the theorem, regarding the determination of the number of real roots of a Sturm's theorem numerical equation included between given limits, which bears his name, and in the following year he was appointed professor of mathematics at the College Rollin.
'''Jacques Charles François Sturm''' (September 29, 1803 - December 15, 1855), France French mathematician, of Germany German extraction, was born in Geneva.

Unlike the classical Paley–Wiener theorem, our theorems use real variable techniques and do not require analytic continuation to the complex plane.
The class of integral transformations considered is related to singular Sturm–Liouville boundary-value problems on a half line and on the whole line.

By use of the Sturm-Desargues involution theorem it is proved that with any such quadrangle an infinite number of butterfly points is associated which are located on an equilateral hyperbola.
The butterfly theorem and some of its generalizations deal with a specific point related to a quadrangle inscribed into a circle.
Finally an infinite number of quadrangles sharing the same butterfly curve is presented.

Really satisfactory results in inverse spectral theory have so far only been obtained for the simplest Sturm-Liouville equation $-u''+qu=\lambda u$ and some closely related equations.
Inverse spectral theory should therefore attempt to reconstruct the equivalence class of the equation from spectral data, two equations being equivalent if they can be transformed into each other unitarily via a Liouville transformation.
This seems to be a difficult problem to attack in full generality, and a first step might be to show that the potential $q$ is uniquely determined by appropriate spectral data, provided the coefficients $p$ and $w$ are known.

 Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Using the Routh-Hurwitz theorem, we can replace the condition on p and q by a condition on the generalized Sturm chain, which will give in turn a condition on the coefficients of f.
By the fundamental theorem of algebra, each polynomial of degree n must have n roots in the complex plane (i.e., for an f with no roots on the imaginary line, p+q=n).

 Edward Routh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Central tenets of modern control systems theory relies upon the Routh stability criterion, an application of Sturm's Theorem to evaluate Cauchy indices through the use of the Euclidiean algorithm.
Besides his intensive work in teaching, which had a persistent effect on the presentation of mathematical physics, he contributed original research, for example the Routh-Hurwitz theorem.
Edward John Routh (1831-1907) was a British mathematician, noted as the outstanding coach of students preparing for the Mathematical Tripos examination of the University of Cambridge in its heyday in the middle of the nineteenth century.

However, {\it there is no Sturm oscillation theorem} (or even its extension by Haupt and Richardson, cf., \cite{abm}) for the eigenfunctions as we show presently.
Thus, in an interesting connection with operator theory, degenerate Sturm-Liouville operators give rise to self-adjoint operators on a Kre\v{i}n space whose spectrum is all of $\mathbb{C}$ (see \cite{alm}, Section 4] for more details about this connection.
For this reason among others (likely of a physical nature), Sturm restricted himself to cases where the leading term $p(x) >0$ in the interval under consideration (and then also to cases where the weight $r(x) >0$).

 Hermite
Sturm and Cauchy gave a good report on this memoir in 1851 but a priority dispute with Liouville seems to have prevented its publication.
Hermite may have still been an undergraduate but it is likely that his ideas from around 1843 helped Liouville to his important 1844 results which include the result now known as Liouville 's theorem.
Also like Galois he was attracted by the problem of solving algebraic equations and one of the two papers attempted to show that the quintic cannot be solved in radicals.
