In this paper we apply the Homotopy perturbation method to derive the higher-order asymptotic distribution of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions associated with the linear real second order equation of Sturm-liouville type on $[0,pi]$ with Neumann conditions $(y'(0)=y'(pi)=0)$ where $q$ is a real-valued Sign-indefinite number of $C^{1}[0,pi]$ and $lambda$ is a real parameter.

In this paper, we investigate the resolvent operator of singular q-Sturm-Liouville problem defined as − ( 1 / q ) D ⁻ ¹ [D y x )] + [r - λ ]y )=0 −(1/q)Dq⁻¹Dqy(x)+r(x)y(x)=λy(x) , with boundary condition 0 c o s β i n = y(0,λ)cosβ+Dq⁻¹y(0,λ)sinβ=0 where ∈ C λ∈C $r$ is a real function on $[0,∞)$, continuous at zero and r L l ∞ r∈Lq,loc¹(0,∞) . We give an integral representation for some properti...

The indefinite Sturm-Liouville operator A = (sgnx)(−d2/dx2 + q(x)) is studied. It is proved that similarity of A to a selfadjoint operator is equivalent to integral estimates of Cauchy integrals. Also similarity conditions in terms of Weyl functions are given. For operators with a finite-zone potential, the components Aess and Adisc of A corresponding to essential and discrete spectrums, respec...

The method proposed here has been devised for solution of the spectral problem for the Lamé wave equation (see [2]), but extended lately to more general problems. This method is based on the phase function concept or the Prüfer angle determined by the Prüfer transformation cot θ(x) = y′(x)/y(x), where y(x) is a solution of a second order self-adjoint o.d.e. The Prüfer angle θ(x) has some useful...

This article contains a detailed study in the case of a toric variety of the geodesic rays φt defined by Phong-Sturm corresponding to test configurations T in the sense of Donaldson. We show that the ‘Bergman approximations’ φk(t, z) of Phong-Sturm converge in C to the geodesic ray φt, and that the geodesic ray itself is C 1,1 and no better. In particular, the Kähler metrics ωt = ω0 + i∂∂̄φt ass...

The variational iterationmethod VIM 1–4 and homotopy perturbationmethod HPM 5– 8 , proposed byHe, are powerful analytical methods for various kinds of linear and nonlinear problems. For example, the variational iteration method has been applied to autonomous ordinary differential equation 9 and delay differential equation 10 . Abdou and Soliman applied this method to Schrodinger-KDV, generalize...

Liouville-Green transformations of the Gauss hypergeometric equation with changes of variable z(x) = ∫ x tp−1(1 − t)q−1dt are considered. When p + q = 1, p = 0 or q = 0 these transformations, together with the application of Sturm theorems, lead to properties satisfied by all the real zeros xi of any of its solutions in the interval (0, 1). Global bounds on the differences z(xk+1) − z(xk), 0 < ...

In this lecture we abstract the eigenvalue problems that we have found so useful thus far for solving the PDEs to a general class of boundary value problems that share a common set of properties. The so-called Sturm-Liouville Problems define a class of eigenvalue problems, which include many of the previous problems as special cases. The S − L Problem helps to identify those assumptions that ar...

We consider eigenvalue problems for self-adjoint Sturm-Liouville difference equations of any even order. It is well known that such problems with Dirichlet boundary conditions can be transformed into an algebraic eigenvalue problem for a banded, real-symmetric matrix, and vice versa. In this article it is shown that such a transform exists for general separated, self-adjoint boundary conditions...
