For fixed β, move the order term of the Bessel equation to the right: x2y′′+xy′+β2x2y=n2y. The integrating factor for its leading differential expression is 1/x, giving the displayed Sturm-Liouville theory form with coefficient p=x, potential q=β2x, weight w=1/x and eigenvalue n2. The origin is a singular endpoint. The integrating factor must be normalized from a positive reference point; its defining logarithmic integral cannot literally start at zero. Boundary conditions are needed before this differential identity becomes a specified self-adjoint spectral problem.
