A Generalized Sturm Theory for Indefinite Elliptic Systems

چکیده

Sturm results on oscillation and comparison for solutions of a second-order differential equation have a topological nature in their own. Roughly speaking they describe the rotation of a straight line in the phase plane of the equation. Many generalization of this results were obtained; among the others we recall the symplectic version due to Arnol’d in [2] for second order hamiltonian systems and the hermitian version due to Edwards in [10] in which a theory of Sturm intersections for positive definite formally self-adjoint ordinary differential operators of even order is constructed. The main goal of this paper is to prove a generalized version of the Sturm oscillation and comparison theorem for formally self-adjoint strongly indefinite ordinary differential operators.

On a generalized Sturm theorem

Sturm oscillation theorem for second order differential equations was generalized to systems and higher order equations with positive leading coefficient by several authors. What we propose here is a Sturm theorem for indefinite systems with Dirichlet boundary conditions of the form p2m du dx + p2m−2(x) du dx + · · ·+ p1(x) du dx + p0(x)u = 0, where pi is a smooth path of matrices on the comple...

New conditions on ground state solutions for Hamiltonian elliptic systems with gradient terms

This paper is concerned with the following elliptic system:$$ left{ begin{array}{ll} -triangle u + b(x)nabla u + V(x)u=g(x, v), -triangle v - b(x)nabla v + V(x)v=f(x, u), end{array} right. $$ for $x in {R}^{N}$, where $V $, $b$ and $W$ are 1-periodic in $x$, and $f(x,t)$, $g(x,t)$ are super-quadratic. In this paper, we give a new technique to show the boundedness of Cerami sequences and estab...

Infinite product representation of solution of indefinite SturmLiouville problem

In this paper, we investigate infinite product representation of the solution of a Sturm- Liouville equation with an indefinite weight function which has two zeros and/or singularities in a finite interval. First, by using of the asymptotic estimates provided in [W. Eberhard, G. Freiling, K. Wilcken-Stoeber, Indefinite eigenvalue problems with several singular points and turning points, Math. N...
