We consider the structure of the solution set of a nonlinear SturmLiouville boundary value problem defined on a general time scale. Using global bifurcation theory we show that unbounded continua of non-trivial solutions bifurcate from the trivial solution at the eigenvalues of the linearization, and we show that certain nodal properties of the solutions are preserved along these continua. Thes...

In this article we establish an oscillation theorem for second order Sturm-Liouville difference equations with general nonlinear dependence on the spectral parameter l. This nonlinear dependence on l is allowed both in the leading coefficient and in the potential. We extend the traditional notions of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions to this more general setting. Our main result generalizes the re...

Inverse problems of recovering the coefficients of Sturm–Liouville problems with the eigenvalue parameter linearly contained in one of the boundary conditions are studied: 1) from the sequences of eigenvalues and norming constants; 2) from two spectra. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of these inverse problems are obtained.

This paper considers the problem of viscous dissipation in the flow of Newtonian fluid through a tube of annular cross section, with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The solution of the problem is obtained by a series expansion about the complete eigenfunctions system of a Sturm-Liouville problem. Eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of this Sturm-Liouville problem are obtained by Galerkin’s method.

The current research of fractional Sturm-Liouville boundary value problems focuses on the qualitative theory and numerical methods, much progress has been recently achieved in both directions. objective this paper is to explore a different route, namely, construction explicit asymptotic approximations for solutions. As study case, we consider problem with left right Riemann-Liouville derivative...
