Consider a Sturm-Liouville problem with Dirichlet type boundary conditions (BCs). To speak more precise consider the differential equation \[ y'' +\lambda \rho(x) y=0 \] with BCs \[ y(0)=y(1)=0. \] As we know \(\rho(x)\) is called the density function and describes the mass distribution of a string. There are mainly two important eigenvalue problems related with successive eigenvalues of this problem: Eigenvalue gap problem and eigenvalue ratio problem. In this paper, following [\textit{J. Qi} et al., Qual. Theory Dyn. Syst. 19, No. 1, Paper No. 12, 15 p. (2020; Zbl 1456.34022)], the author deals with the minimum eigenvalue gap of the first two eigenvalues for \(\rho(x)\), where \(\rho(x)\) is piecewise continuous with a bounded of jumps. Contrary to previous works in the literature, in this paper, the author considers a more general case of this density function.
