‎This paper considers a non-local initial-boundary value problem containing a first order partial differential equation with variable coefficients‎. ‎At first‎, ‎the non-self-adjoint spectral problem is derived‎. ‎Then its adjoint problem is calculated‎. ‎After that‎, ‎for the adjoint problem the associated eigenvalues and the subsequent eigenfunctions are determined‎. ‎Finally the convergence ...

n |sn−sn+1|, is presented. This Ising-like model is an interesting example of a graduate-level statistical mechanics problem where the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of an integral operator, the transfer integral, can be determined exactly. This can be contrasted with the determination of eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of differential operators, such as the quantum mechanical finite-depth squar...

Stability analysis of spatially discretized approximations to invariant circle solutions to a noninvertible map is shown to produce seemingly spurious eigenvalues, found to exist for all truncation numbers. Numerical analysis of the spectral Galerkin projection procedure used to compute the solutions and the eigenvalues of the linearization shows that the set of discrete eigenvalues converges i...

We discuss a novel strategy for computing the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the relativistic Dirac operator with a radially symmetric potential. The virtues of this strategy lie on the fact that it avoids completely the phenomenon of spectral pollution and it always provides two-side estimates for the eigenvalues with explicit error bounds on both eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. We also dis...

In recent times, considerable attention was focused on the computation of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Finite (truncated) Fourier Transform (FFT). An incentive to that a series of papers by Slepian and his collaborators at Bell labs was. The latest results published by Walter and Shen on sampling with the prolate spheroidal functions — the 1D FFT eigenfunctions — will necessary pro...

A framework of a general type of Petrovsky equation is formulated. The characteristic equation for eigenvalues of the system is derived and the associated eigenfunctions are found. For N connected beams with linear feedbacks at joint points, the asymptotic expansions of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are further developed, and the Riesz basis property and the exponential stability are then conc...

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...
