We consider the following question: given A ∈ SL(2,R), which potentials q for the second order Sturm-Liouville problem have A as its Floquet multiplier? More precisely, define the monodromy map μ taking a potential q ∈ L2([0, 2π]) to μ(q) = Φ̃(2π), the lift to the universal cover G = ̃ SL(2,R) of SL(2,R) of the fundamental matrix map Φ : [0, 2π] → SL(2,R), Φ(0) = I, Φ(t) = (

We consider symplectic difference systems, which contain as special cases linear Hamiltonian difference systems and Sturm–Liouville difference equations of any even order. An associated discrete quadratic functional is important in discrete variational analysis, and while its positive definiteness has been characterized and is well understood, a characterization of its positive semidefiniteness...

A new algorithm is proposed for solving the inverse Sturm–Liouville problem of reconstructing a symmetric potential from eigenvalues. It uses Numerov’s method instead of the second order method of the related algorithm of Fabiano, Knobel and Lowe. An extension by Andrew and Paine of the asymptotic correction technique of Paine, de Hoog and Anderssen is the key to the success of the new algorith...

By constructing an available integral operator and combining Krasnosel’skii-Zabreiko fixed point theorem with properties of Green’s function, this paper shows the existence of multiple positive solutions for a class of m-point second-order Sturm-Liouville-like boundary value problems on time scales with polynomial nonlinearity. The results significantly extend and improve many known results for...

As we know one of the most important equations which have many applications in various areas physics, mathematics, and financial markets, is Sturm–Liouville equation. In this paper, by using α-ψ-contraction technique fixed point theory employing some functional inequalities, study existence solutions partial fractional hybrid case generalized Sturm–Liouville-Langevin under boundary value condit...

In this manuscript, we consider the inverse problem for non self-adjoint Sturm--Liouville operator $-D^2+q$ with eigenparameter dependent boundary and discontinuity conditions inside a finite closed interval. We prove by defining a new Hilbert space and using spectral data of a kind, the potential function can be uniquely determined by a set of value of eigenfunctions at an interior point and p...

We prove a necessary optimality condition for isoperimetric problems on time scales in the space of delta-differentiable functions with rdcontinuous derivatives. The results are then applied to Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems on time scales.

In the present paper, the Liouville theorem and the finite dimension theorem of polynomial growth harmonic functions are proved on Alexandrov spaces with nonnegative Ricci curvature in the sense of Sturm, Lott-Villani and Kuwae-Shioya.

This paper [1] has been retracted as it is essentially identical in content with the published article " Determination of Sturm-Liouville operator on a three-star graph from four spectra, " by Dehghani Tazehkand and Akbarfam, published in Acta

In this paper we investigate a Sturm–Liouville eigenvalue problem on time scales. Existence of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions is proved. Mean square convergent and uniformly convergent expansions in the eigenfunctions are established. AMS subject classification: 34L10.
