We consider both a problem over ℝn and a boundary problem over an exterior subregion for a Douglis–Nirenberg system of differential operators under limited smoothness assumptions as well as under the assumption of parameter ellipticity in a closed sector Ꮭ in the complex plane with vertex at the origin. We pose each problem on an Lp Sobolev space setting, 1 < p < ∞, and denote by the operator induced in this setting by the problem over ℝn and by Ap the operator induced in this setting by the boundary problem under null boundary conditions. We then derive results pertaining to the Fredholm theory for each of these operators for values of the spectral parameter λ lying in Ꮭ as well as results for these values of λ pertaining to the invariance of their Fredholm domains with p.

We consider an elliptic boundary problem in a bounded region Ω ⊂ ℝn wherein the spectral parameter is multiplied by a real-valued weight function with the property that it, together with its reciprocal, is essentially bounded in Ω. The problem is considered under limited smoothness assumptions and under an ellipticity with parameter condition. Then, fixing our attention upon the operator induced on L2(Ω) by the boundary problem under null boundary conditions, we establish results pertaining to the asymptotic behaviour of the eigenvalues of this operator under weaker smoothness assumptions than have hitherto been supposed.

Thenumerical solution of ordinary differential equations (ODEs)with boundary conditions is studied here. Functions are approximated by polynomials in a Chebychev basis. Sections then cover spectral discretization, sampling, interpolation, differentiation, integration, and the basic ODE. Following Trefethen et al., differential operators are approximated as rectangular matrices. Boundary conditions add additional rows that turn them into square matrices. These can then be diagonalized using standard linear algebra methods. After studying various simple model problems, this method is applied to the Orr–Sommerfeld equation, deriving results originally due to Orszag. The difficulties of pushing spectral methods to higher dimensions are outlined.

AbstractThis paper deals with non-self-adjoint differential operators with two constant delays generated by {-y^{\prime\prime}+q_{1}(x)y(x-\tau_{1})+(-1)^{i}q_{2}(x)y(x-\tau_{2})}, where {\frac{\pi}{3}\leq\tau_{2}<\frac{\pi}{2}<2\tau_{2}\leq\tau_{1}<\pi} and potentials {q_{j}} are real-valued functions, {q_{j}\in L^{2}[0,\pi]}. We will prove that the delays and the potentials are uniquely determined from the spectra of four boundary value problems: two of them under boundary conditions {y(0)=y(\pi)=0} and the remaining two under boundary conditions {y(0)=y^{\prime}(\pi)=0}.

SynopsisWirtinger-type inequalities of order n are inequalities between quadratic forms involving derivatives of order k ≦ n of admissible functions in an interval (a, b). Several methods for establishing these inequalities are investigated, leading to improvements of classical results as well as systematic generation of new ones. A Wirtinger inequality for Hamiltonian systems is obtained in which standard regularity hypotheses are weakened and singular intervals are permitted, and this is employed to generalize standard inequalities for linear differential operators of even order. In particular second order inequalities of Beesack's type are developed, in which the admissible functions satisfy only the null boundary conditions at the endpoints of [a, b] and b does not exceed the first systems conjugate point (a) of a. Another approach is presented involving the standard minimization theory of quadratic forms and the theory of “natural boundary conditions”. Finally, inequalities of order n + k are described in terms of (n, n)-disconjugacy of associated 2nth order differential operators.
