we investigate the boundary-value problem generated by the sturm-liouville equation withdiscontinuous coefficients, eigenparameter dependent boundary conditions and transmission conditionsat the point of discontinuity. with a different approach we introduce an adequate hilbert spaceformulation, investigate some properties of eigenvalues, green’s function and resolvent operator, andfind simple c...

The index of matrix A in Cn.n is equivalent to the dimension of largest Jor-dan block corresponding to the zero eigenvalue of A. In this paper, indicialequations and normal equations for solving inconsistent singular linear systemof equations are investigated.

In this paper we study a non-homogeneous eigenvalue problem involving variable growth conditions and a sign-changing potential. We prove that any λ > 0 sufficiently small is an eigenvalue of the nonhomogeneous eigenvalue problem { −div(a(|∇u|)∇u) = λV(x)|u|q(x)−2u, in Ω, u = 0, on ∂Ω. The proofs of the main results are based on Ekeland’s variational principle.

We first develop an efficient spectral-Galerkin method and an rigorous error analysis for the generalized eigenvalue problems associated to a transmission eigenvalue problem. Then, we present an iterative scheme, based on computation of the first transmission eigenvalue, to estimate the index of refraction of an inhomogeneous medium. We present ample numerical results to demonstrate the effecti...

A reduction of the transmission eigenvalue problem for multiplicative sign-definite perturbations of elliptic operators with constant coefficients to an eigenvalue problem for a non-selfadjoint compact operator is given. Sufficient conditions for the existence of transmission eigenvalues and completeness of generalized eigenstates for the transmission eigenvalue problem are derived. In the trac...

The present paper deals with the spectrum of a fourth order nonlinear eigenvalue problem involving variable exponent conditions and a sign-changing potential. The main result of this paper establishes the existence of two positive constants λ0 and λ1 with λ0 ≤ λ1 such that every λ ∈ [λ1,+∞) is an eigenvalue, while λ ∈ (−∞, λ0) cannot be an eigenvalue of the above problem.

In this paper, we show that the covariance-eigenvalue approach converges much faster than using cumulative distribution function (CDF) for determining diversity gain from channel measurements in reverberation chamber. The covariance-eigenvalue approach can be used for arbitrary multi-port antennas, but it is limited to Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC). key words: MRC, diversity gain, eigenvalue, r...
