SynopsisThe main result of this paper is to establish the completeness of the eigenfunctions for the multiparameter eigenvalue problem defined by the system of ordinary differential equations0 ≤ x, ≤ 1, r = 1, …, k, subject to the Sturm-Liouville boundary conditionsr = 1, …, k. In addition it is assumed that the coefficients ars of the spectral parameters λs, satisfy the ellipticity condition , s = 1, …, k, for all xrɛ[0, 1], r = 1, …, k, and some real k-tuple μ1, …, μk and where is the co-factor of asr in the determinant . The theory developed here contrasts with the results known when …k is assumed non-vanishing for all xrɛ[0,1].

In the following I discuss the properties, in particular the completeness of the set of eigenfunctions, of an eigenvalue problem which differs from the well-known Sturm-Liouville problem by the boundary condition being of a rather unusual type.The problem arises in the theory of nuclear collisions, and for our present purpose we take it in the simplified formwhere 0 ≤ x ≤ 1. V(x) is a given real function, which we assume to be integrable and to remain between the bounds ± M, and W is an eigenvalue. The eigenfunction ψ(x) is subject to the boundary conditionsand

Oscillation, comparison and asymptotic theory for the Sturm-Liouville problemwith 1/p, q, r ε L1 ([0, 1]), p, r > 0, are studied subject to eigenvalue-dependent boundary conditionsThis continues previous work on cases with (− 1)j δj ≦ 0 where δj = ajdj − bjcj. We now consider the remaining sign conditions for δj, exploiting the interplay between the graph of cot θ− (λ, 1), for a modified Prüfer angle θ−, and the eigencurves of a related two-parameter problem.

What sort of an equation isWriteand start with the equationsThis last givesand the system thus isviz., this is a system of ordinary differential equations between the five variables θ, r, X, Y, Z: the system can therefore be integrated with 4 arbitrary constants, and these may be so determined that for the value β of θ, X, Y, Z shall be each = 0; and r shall have the value r0.

The eigenfunctions of a boundary value problem are characterized by two quite distinct properties. They are solutions of ordinary differential equations, and they satisfy prescribed boundary conditions. It is a definite advantage to combine these two requirements into a single problem expressed by a unified formula. The use of integral equations is an example in point. The subject of this paper, namely the Schrödinger-Infeld Factorization Method, which is applicable to certain restricted. Sturm-Liouville problems, is based upon another combination of the two properties. The Factorization Method prescribes a manufacturing process.

In a great variety of fields, e.g., biology, epidemic theory, physics, and chemistry, ordinary differential equations are used to give continuous deterministic models for dynamic processes which are actually discrete and random in their development. Perhaps the simplest example is the differential equation used to describe a number of processes including radioactive decay and population growth.

SynopsisThe perturbed linear ordinary differential equationis considered. Adopting the same approach of Massera and Schäffer [6], Corduneanu states in [2] the existence of a set of solutions of (1) contained in a given Banach space. In this paper we investigate some topological aspects of the set and analyze some of the implications from a point of view ofstability theory.
