In this paper, we deal with the inverse spectral problem for the equation −(pu′)′ + qu = λρu on a finite interval (0, h). We give some uniqueness results on q and ρ from the Gelfand spectral data, when the coefficients p and ρ are piecewise Lipschitz and q is bounded. We also prove an equivalence result between the Gelfand spectral data and the Borg–Levinson spectral data. As a consequence, we ...

The Yamabe problem concerns finding a conformal metric on a given closed Riemannian manifold so that it has constant scalar curvature. This paper concerns mainly a fully nonlinear version of the Yamabe problem and the corresponding Liouville type problem.

‎in this paper, we formulate the fourth order sturm-liouville problem (fslp) as a lie group matrix differential equation. by solving this ma- trix differential equation by lie group magnus expansion, we compute the eigenvalues of the fslp. the magnus expansion is an infinite series of multiple integrals of lie brackets. the approximation is, in fact, the truncation of magnus expansion and a gauss...

We prove that the Cauchy problem associated to the radially symmetric spatially homogeneous non-cutoff Boltzmann equation with Maxwellian molecules enjoys the same Gelfand-Shilov regularizing effect as the Cauchy problem defined by the evolution equation associated to a fractional harmonic oscillator.

By using the integral operational matrix and the product operation matrix of the Chebyshev wavelet, a class of nonlinear fractional integral-differential equations of Bratu-type is transformed into nonlinear algebraic equations, which makes the solution process and calculation more simple. At the same time, reliable approaches for uniqueness and convergence of the Chebyshev wavelet method are d...

We present the extension of the successful Constant Perturbation Method (CPM) for Schrödinger problems to the more general class of Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems. Whereas the orginal CPM can only be applied to Sturm-Liouville problems after a Liouville transformation, the more general CPM presented here solves the Sturm-Liouville problem directly. This enlarges the range of applicability ...

To study the problem of the assigned Gauss curvature with conical singularities on Riemanian manifolds, we consider the Liouville equation with a single Dirac measure on the two-dimensional sphere. By a stereographic projection, we reduce the problem to a Liouville equation on the euclidean plane. We prove new multiplicity results for bounded radial solutions, which improve on earlier results o...

In this manuscript, we study 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. By defining  a new Hilbert space and  using its spectral data of a kind, it is shown that the potential function can be uniquely determined by part of a set of values of eigenfunctions at som...

In this paper we define the Evans function for Sturm-Liouville problems. We show that the Evans function is analytic in the spectral parameter, has zeros in one-to-one correspondence with the eigenvalues, and is under certain conditions what we call conjugate symmetric. We conclude by showing that the Evans function can be used to track the movement of the eigenvalues as the coefficients in the...

In this paper we obtain unstable even-parity eigenmodes to the static regular spherically symmetric solutions of the SU(2) Yang-Mills-dilaton coupled system of equations in 3+1 Minkowski space-time. The corresponding matrix Sturm-Liouville problem is solved numerically by means of the continuous analogue of Newton's method. The method, being the powerful tool for solving both boundary-value and...
