Boundary value problems where resonance phenomena are studied are most often transformable to parameter dependent Sturm-Liouville (SL) eigenproblems with interior singularities. The parameter dependent Sturm-Liouville eigenproblem with interior poles is examined. Asymptotic approximations to the solutions are obtained using an extended Langer's method to take care of the resulting complex eigenvalues and eigenfunctions.
