The relevant weighted inner product is $⟨u,v{⟩}_w={\int }_0^{1}w(x)u(x)v(x)dx$. The normalized eigenfunctions of the Sturm-Liouville problem have the orthonormality propertyHere ${\delta }_{nm}$ is the Kronecker delta: the integral is one for $n=m$ and zero otherwise. The weight is $w$, rather than $p$ or the unweighted measure.
