AbstractThe eigenmodes of the adiabatic oscillations of stars are usually calculated numerically by solving the system of the four linear first-order differential equations using either the relaxation method or the shooting method. Finding some shortcomings in these conventional methods, we adopt another method, namely the Riccati method, in which it is not the system of the linear differential equations but the nonlinear matrix Riccati equation that is solved numerically. After describing the method, we discuss its advantages and give some demonstrations.

SynopsisWe consider ordinary linear differential systems of first order with distributional coefficients and distributional nonhomogeneous terms. Firstly the coefficients are assumed to be functions, secondly to be first order distributions (i.e. first derivatives of functions which are integrable or of bounded variation), and thirdly to be distributions of higher order.

In this work, we present new oscillation conditions for the oscillation of the higher-order differential equations with the middle term. We obtain some oscillation criteria by a comparison method with first-order equations. The obtained results extend and simplify known conditions in the literature. Furthermore, examining the validity of the proposed criteria is demonstrated via particular examples.

In two recent papers Dirac has shown how the “duplexity” phenomena of the atom can be accounted for without recourse to the hypothesis of the spinning electron. The investigation is carried out by the methods of non-commutative algebra, the wave function ψ being a matrix of the fourth order. An alternative presentation of the theory, using the methods of wave mechanics, has been given by Darwin. The four-rowed matrix ψ is replaced by four wave functions ψ1, ψ2, ψ3, ψ4 satisfying four linear differential equations of the first order. These functions are related to one particular direction, and the work can only be given invariance of form at the expense of much additional complication, the four wave functions being replaced by sixteen.
