We describe relations between the Evans function, a modern tool in the study of stability of traveling waves and other patterns for PDEs, and the classical Weyl-Titchmarsh function for singular Sturm-Liouville differential expressions and for matrix Hamiltonian systems. Also, for the scalar Schrodinger equation, we discuss a related issue of approximating eigenvalue problems on the whole line by that on finite segments.
