Abstract
An embedding criterion for interpolation spaces is formulated and applied to the study of the Riesz basis property in the L 2,❘g❘ space of eigenfunctions of an indefinite Sturm–Liouville problem u″=λgu on the interval (-1,1) with the Dirichlet boundary conditions, provided that the function g(x) changes sign at the origin. In particular, the basis property criterion is established for an odd g(x). Some connections with stability in interpolation scales are discussed.
