Many practical problems can be formulated as convex optimization problems over the cone of nonnegative univariate polynomials. We use a cutting plane method for solving this type of optimization problems in primal form. Therefore, we must be able to verify whether a polynomial is nonnegative, i.e. if it does not have real roots or all real roots are multiple of even order. In this paper an effi...

The generalized Fourier transform associated with a selfadjoint Sturm–Liouville operator is a unitary transformation which converts the action of this operator into a simple product by a spectral variable. For a particular operator defined on the half-line and which involves a step function, we show how to extend such a transformation to generalized functions, or distributions, with a suitable ...

This article presents an overview of the recent literature and summarises the major theoretical developments pertaining to a class of non-Sturm-Liouville orthogonality relations relevant to fluid-structure interaction.

We estimate from below by geometric data the eigenvalues of the periodic Sturm-Liouville operator ?4 d 2 ds 2 + 2 (s) with potential given by the curvature of a closed curve.

In this study we investigate asymptotic behavior of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of one discontinuous Sturm-Liouville problem with eigendependent boundary and transmission conditions. c ©2003 Yang’s Scientific Research Institute, LLC. All rights reserved.

We discuss integral estimates for domain of solutions to some canonical Riccati and Sturm–Liouville equations on the line. The approach is applied to Hardy and Poincaré type inequalities with weights.

We propose a numerical algorithm for solving inverse problems of spectral analysis for Sturm–Liouville differential operators on the half-line. Moreover some results of numerical experiments are also presented. AMS subject classification: 65L09, 34A55, 47E05.

— In this work, we use the regularized sampling method to compute the eigenvalues of Sturm Liouville problems with discontinuity conditions inside a finite interval. We work out an example by computing a few eigenvalues and their corresponding eigenfunctions.

This study is on the fuzzy eigenvalues and fuzzy eigenfunctions of the Sturm-Liouville fuzzy problem with fuzzy eigenvalue parameter. We find fuzzy eigenvalues and fuzzy eigenfunctions of the problem under the approach of Hukuhara differentiability. We solve an example. We draw the graphics of eigenfunctions. We show that eigenfunctions are valid fuzzy functions or not.

Abstract This paper argues that mechanism, occasionalism and finality (the acceptance of final causes) can be were de facto integrated into a coherent system natural philosophy by Johann Christoph Sturm (1635–1703). Previous scholarship has left the relation between these three elements understudied. According to Sturm, count as explanatorily useful philosophy, they might go some way dealing wi...
