AbstractThe perturbation of the eigenvalues of a regular Sturm–Liouville problem in normal form which results from a small perturbation of the coefficient function is known to be uniformly bounded. For numerical methods based on approximating the coefficients of the differential equation, this result is used to show that a better bound on the error is obtained when the problem is in normal form. A method having a uniform error bound is presented, and an extension of this method for general Sturm–Liouville problems is proposed and examined.

AbstractThe Sturm–Liouville differential equation is one of interesting problems which has been studied by researchers during recent decades. We study the existence of a solution for partial fractional Sturm–Liouville equation by using the α-ψ-contractive mappings. Also, we give an illustrative example. By using the α-ψ-multifunctions, we prove the existence of solutions for inclusion version of the partial fractional Sturm–Liouville problem. Finally by providing another example and some figures, we try to illustrate the related inclusion result.

In this paper, we study the Dirac equation in the Rindler spacetime. The solution of the wave equation in an accelerated reference frame is obtained. The differential equation associated to this wave equation is mapped into a Sturm–Liouville problem of a Schrödinger-like equation. We derive a compact expression for the energy spectrum associated with the Dirac equation in an accelerated reference. It is shown that the noninertial effect of the accelerated reference frame mimics an external potential in the Dirac equation and, moreover, allows the formation of bound states.

Solutions to a boundary-value problem involving a second-order linear functional differential equation with an advanced argument are investigated in this paper. The boundary conditions imposed on the differential equation are analogous to conditions defining various singular Sturm-Liouville problems, and if an eigenvalue parameter is introduced certain properties of the spectrum can be deduced having analogues with the classical problem. Dirichlet series solutions are constructed for the problem and it is established that the spectrum contains an infinite number of real positive eigenvalues. A Laplace transform analysis of the problem then reveals that the spectrum does not generically consist of isolated points and that there may be an infinite number of eigenfunctions corresponding to a given eigenvalue. In contrast, it is also shown that there is a subset of eigenvalues that correspond to the zeros of an entire function for which the corresponding eigenfunctions are unique.

Abstract We present an approach that facilitates the generation of explicit solutions to atmospheric Ekman flows with a height-dependent eddy viscosity. The approach relies on applying to the governing equations, of Sturm–Liouville type, a suitable Liouville substitution and then reducing the outcome to a nonlinear first-order differential equation of Riccati type.

The purpose here is to study a type of perturbation problem, arising from a differential equation, which is not included in the realm of analytic or asymptotic perturbation theory [4], [6]. Such a problem arises when the domain of the differential operator has been subjected to a variation (rather than the formal operator). We propose to outline one simple problem of this type, concerned with a second order ordinary differential operator. Our purpose is to obtain asymptotic estimates for the characteristic values of a regular Sturm-Liouville problem on a closed interval [a, b] when b is near a singular point of the differential operator. Similar results have been obtained in [3], [8], and [9] by other methods.

AbstractIn this paper we study non-axisymmetric oscillations of thin twisted magnetic tubes taking the density variation along the tube into account. We use the approximation of the zero-beta plasma. The magnetic field outside the tube is straight and homogeneous, however it is twisted inside the tube. We assume that the azimuthal component of the magnetic field is proportional to the distance from the tube axis, and that the tube is only weakly twisted, i.e. the ratio of the azimuthal and axial components of the magnetic field is small. Using the asymptotic analysis we show that the eigenmodes and eigenfrequencies of the kink and fluting oscillations are described by a classical Sturm-Liouville problem for a second order ordinary differential equation. The main result is that the twist does not affect the kink mode.
