  ABSTRACT: We derive a lower bound on the eigenvalue of the smallest modulus associated with a mixed boundary condition problem in the general case of a regular Sturm-Liouville problem. Using the Fredholm integral operator and estimates on its norm, we derive bounds for the eigenvalue of the smallest modulus under the assumption that the coefficient function q( x ) and the weight function r( x ) exhibit no sign restrictions. The results contribute to a broader understanding of eigenvalue problems with mixed boundary conditions in the general case of the regular Sturm-Liouville problems. We also recommend similar studies in higher order Sturm-Liouville problems.
