ABSTRACTThis paper concerns the determination of the smallest eigenvalue of a second order differential equation containing two parameters which arises in problems concerning genic selection under random drift in a population of finite size. A table of values is given, the method of computation is described, and the asymptotic behaviour for large values of one of the parameters is investigated.

Abstract We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic solutions of the second-order differential equation with variable potentials {-(px^{\prime})^{\prime}(t)-r(t)p(t)x^{\prime}(t)+q(t)x(t)=f(t,x(t))} , where the functions {p(t)>0} , {q(t)} , {r(t)} and {f(t,x)} are {\mathcal{C}^{2}} and T-periodic in the variable t.

AbstractThis work is devoted to the numerical methods for solving the first-kind boundary value problem for a linear second-order differential equation with a deviating argument in minor terms. The sufficient conditions of the one-valued solvability are established, and the a priori estimate of the solution is obtained. For the numerical solution, the problem studied is reduced to the equivalent boundary value problem for an ordinary linear differential equation of fourth order, for which the finite-difference scheme of second-order approximation was built. The convergence of this scheme to the exact solution is shown under certain conditions of the solvability of the initial problem. To solve the finite-difference problem, the method of five-point marching of schemes is used.
