Eigenvalue Computation of Regular 4th Order Sturm-Liouville Problems

Eigenvalue Computations for Regular Matrix Sturm - Liouville Problems ∗

An algorithm is presented for computing eigenvalues of regular selfadjoint Sturm-Liouville (SL) problems with matrix coefficients and separated boundary conditions.

Eigenvalues of regular Sturm - Liouville problems

The eigenvalues of Sturm-Liouville (SL) problems depend not only continuously but smoothly on the problem. An expression for the derivative of the n-th eigenvalue with respect to a given parameter: an endpoint, a boundary condition constant, a coefficient or weight function, is found.

Regular approximations of singular Sturm-Liouville problems

Given any self-adjoint realization S of a singular Sturm-Liouville (S-L) problem, it is possible to construct a sequence {Sr} of regular S-L problems with the properties (i) every point of the spectrum of S is the limit of a sequence of eigenvalues from the spectrum of the individual members of {Sr} (ii) in the case when S is regular or limit-circle at each endpoint, a convergent sequence of ei...

Sturm-liouville Eigenvalue Characterizations

We study the relationship between the eigenvalues of separated self-adjoint boundary conditions and coupled self-adjoint conditions. Given an arbitrary real coupled boundary condition determined by a coupling matrix K we construct a one parameter family of separated conditions and show that all the eigenvalues for K and −K are extrema of the eigencurves of this family. This characterization mak...
