 Drift-removing substitution for a Dirichlet Sturm-Liouville problem

For $\mathcal{L}y=-y^{\prime \prime }-2a{y}^{\prime }$, setting $y=e^{-ax}v$ gives $\mathcal{L}y=e^{-ax}(-v^{\prime \prime }+a^{2}v)$. Dirichlet conditions are unchanged. The weighted self-adjoint form is $-e^{-2ax}(e^{2ax}{y}^{\prime }{)}^{\prime }$, with weight $e^{2ax}$. On an interval of length $L$, eigenvalues are $(n\pi /L{)}^2+a^2$ and eigenfunctions are $e^{-ax}\sin (n\pi x/L)$.
