A simple model in two dimensions is developed and solved analytically taking into account the electric and magnetic fields in laser produced plasmas. The electric potential in this model is described by the non-linear differential equationψ = eφ/T, where eφ is the electric potential energy and T is the temperature in energy units. The physical branch ψ < 1, defined by the electron density n = no exp ψ, boundary conditions n (x = 0) = const and n (x = +∞) = 0, introduces a typical electrostatic double layer. The stationary solution of this model is consistent for − 3 ≲ ψ < 1, with electron temperatures in the KeV region and a ratio of the electric (E) to magnetic (B) fields of [E/106 v/cm]/[B/MGauss] ∼ 1.

SynopsisIn an earlier paper [6] we showed that if q ϵ CN[0, ε) for some ε > 0, then the Titchmarsh–Weyl m(λ) function associated with the second order linear differential equationhas the asymptotic expansionas |A| →∞ in a sector of the form 0 < δ < arg λ < π – δ.We show that if the real valued function q admits the expansionin a neighbourhood of 0, then

In this paper we deal with the number of zeros of a solution of the nth order linear differential equation1.1where the functions pj(z) (j = 0, 1, …, n – 2) are assumed to be regular in a given domain D of the complex plane. The differential equation (1.1) is called disconjugate in D, if no (non-trivial) solution of (1.1) has more than (n – 1) zeros in D. (The zeros are counted by their multiplicity.)The ideas of this paper are related to those of Nehari (7; 9) on second order differential equations. In (7), he pointed out the following basic relationship. The function1.2where y1(z) and y2(z) are two linearly independent solutions of1.3is univalent in D, if and only if no solution of equation(1.3) has more than one zero in D, i.e., if and only if(1.3) is disconjugate in D.

Homogeneous Linear Differential Equation

We consider the second order homogeneous linear differential equation (H) $${ ay'' + by' + cy = 0 }$$ with real coefficients a, b, c, and a ≠ 0. The function y = emx is a solution if, and only if, m satisfies the auxiliary equation am2 + bm + c = 0. When the roots of this are the complex conjugates m = p ± iq, then y = e(p ± iq)x are complex solutions of (H). Nevertheless, real solutions are given by y = c1epx cos qx + c2epx sin qx.

Introduction. In §1 of this paper we consider the complex differential equation1, |z| < 1,where q(z) is a regular function in the open unit circle. We shall give a lower bound for the non-Euclidean distance of any pair of zeros of any non-trivial (i.e., not identically zero) solution u(z) of (1).

AbstractWe study the sequence of monic polynomials orthogonal with respect to inner product $$\begin{eqnarray*}\langle p, q\rangle = \int \nolimits \nolimits_{0}^{\infty } p(x)q(x){e}^{- x} {x}^{\alpha } \hspace{0.167em} dx+ Mp(\zeta )q(\zeta )+ N{p}^{\prime } (\zeta ){q}^{\prime } (\zeta ),\end{eqnarray*}$$ where $\alpha \gt - 1$, $M\geq 0$, $N\geq 0$, $\zeta \lt 0$, and $p$ and $q$ are polynomials with real coefficients. We deduce some interlacing properties of their zeros and, by using standard methods, we find a second-order linear differential equation satisfied by the polynomials and discuss an electrostatic model of their zeros.

In a recent paper (1) I described a method for the numerical evaluation of zeros of the Bessel functions Jn(z) and Yn(z), which was independent of computed values of these functions. The essence of the method was to regard the zeros ρ of the cylinder functionas a function of t and to solve numerically the third-order non-linear differential equation satisfied by ρ(t). It has since been successfully used to compute ten-decimal values of jn, s, yn, s, the sth positive zeros* of Jn(z), Yn(z) respectively, in the ranges n = 10 (1) 20, s = 1(1) 20. During the course of this work it was realized that the least satisfactory feature of the new method was the time taken for the evaluation of the first three or four zeros in comparison with that required for the higher zeros; the direct numerical technique for integrating the differential equation satisfied by ρ(t) becomes unwieldy for the small zeros and a different technique (described in the same paper) must be employed. It was also apparent that no mere refinement of the existing methods would remove this defect and that a new approach was required if it was to be eliminated. The outcome has been the development of the method to which the first part (§§ 2–6) of this paper is devoted.

The linear differential equation of the second orderis not in general integrable by any method at present available. At the same time, several equations of this type have been integrated, either in terms of finite functions or by means of expansions in series. Some properties of the integrals of the general equation have also been obtained. It is the object of this paper to develop some general properties of these integrals, which throw some light on the nature of the solutions, even if not obtainable in explicit terms.
