In this paper, we study q-Sturm-Liouville operators. We construct a space of boundary values of the minimal operator and describe all maximal dissipative, maximal accretive, self-adjoint and other extensions of q-Sturm-Liouville operators in terms of boundary conditions. Then we prove a theorem on completeness of the system of eigenfunctions and associated functions of dissipative operators by ...

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...

An inverse spectral problem is studied for the non-selfadjoint matrix Sturm–Liouville differential equation on the half-line. We give a formulation of the inverse problem, prove the corresponding uniqueness theorem and provide a constructive procedure for the solution of the inverse problem by the method of spectral mappings. The obtained results are natural generalizations of the classical res...

In this paper, we give the solution of the inverse Sturm–Liouville problem on two partially coinciding spectra. In particular, in this case we obtain Hochstadt's theorem concerning the structure of the difference q(x) − ˜ q(x) for the singular Sturm Liouville problem defined on the finite interval (0, π) having the singularity type 1 4 sin 2 x at the points 0 and π.

This paper is concerned with the construction and study of specific finite and infinite integral transforms arising from a singular Sturm-Liouville problem on a half line, which is connected to the hydrogen atom equation. The paper goes further to describe fully the image of some spaces of square integrable functions with respect to some measure under the finite and infinite integral transforms...

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...

We describe a new algorithm to compute the eigenvalues of singular Sturm-Liouville problems with separated self-adjoint boundary conditions for both the limit-circle nonoscillatory and oscillatory cases. Also described is a numerical code implementing this algorithm and how it compares with SLEIGN. The latter is the only effective general purpose software available for the computation of the ei...

EXPLICIT SOLUTIONS FOR NON HOMOGENEOUS STURM MOUVILLE OPERATOR PROBLEMS

Sturm results on oscillation and comparison for solutions of a second-order differential equation have a topological nature in their own. Roughly speaking they describe the rotation of a straight line in the phase plane of the equation. Many generalization of this results were obtained; among the others we recall the symplectic version due to Arnol’d in [2] for second order hamiltonian systems ...

Eigenvalues in the essential spectrum of a weighted Sturm-Liouville operator are studied under the assumption that the weight function has one turning point. An abstract approach to the problem is given via a functional model for indefinite Sturm-Liouville operators. Algebraic multiplicities of eigenvalues are obtained. Also, operators with finite singular critical points are considered. MSC-cl...
