Consider the eigenvalue problemwhere q(x) is a (bounded) function in the class L(a, b). We may suppose without loss of generality that 0 ≤ α < π and 0 ≤ β < π. Then as is well known there are infinitely many eigenvalues λr (r = 0, 1, 2, …) and λn ∽ n2π2 (b − a)−2 as n → ∞.

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

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].

Sturm theory is extended to the equationfor 1/p, q, r∈L1 [0, 1] with p, r > 0, subject to boundary conditionsandOscillation and comparison results are given, and asymptotic estimates are developed. Interlacing of eigenvalues with those of a standard Sturm–Liouville problem where the boundary conditions are ajy(j) = cj(py′)(j), j=0, 1, forms a key tool.

AbstractThe nonlinear eigenvalue problemfor 0 ≤ x < ∞, fixed p ∈ (1, ∞), and with y′(0)/y(0) specified is studied under various conditions on the coefficients s and q, leading to either oscillatory or non-oscillatory situations.

For a special case of the Sturm-Liouville equation, −(py′)′ + qy = λwy on [0, ∞) with the initial condition y(0) cos α + p(0)y′(0) sin α = 0, α ∈ [0, π), it is shown that, given the spectral derivative for two values of α ∈ [0, π) at a fixed μ = Re{λ} ≥ Λ0, it is possible to uniquely determine . An explicit formula is derived to accomplish this. Further, in a more general case of the Sturm-Liouville problem for μ with both finite and positive, then the following inequality holds

AbstractWe consider the multiparameter nonlinear Sturm-Liouville problemwhere are parameters. We assume that1 ≤ q ≤ p1 < p2 < ... ≤ pn < 2q + 3.We shall establish an asymptotic formula of variational eigenvalue λ = λ(μ, α) obtained by using Ljusternik-Schnirelman theory on general level set Nμ, α(α < 0 : parameter of level set). Furthermore,we shall give the optimal condition of {(μ, α)}, under which μi(m + 1 ≤ i ≤ n : fixed) dominates the asymptotic behavior of λ(μ, α).

Results are given for the asymptotic spectrum of a multiparameter eigenvalue problem in Hilbert space. They are based on estimates for eigenvalues derived from the minim un-maximum principle. As an application, a multiparameter Sturm-Liouville problem is considered.
