Global Sturm inequalities for the real zeros of the solutions of the Gauss hypergeometric differential equation

Liouville–Green transformations of the Gauss hypergeometric equation with changes of variable are considered. When p+q=1, p=0 or q=0 these transformations, together with the application of Sturm theorems, lead to properties satisfied by all the real zeros xi of any of its solutions in the interval (0,1).
