AbstractIn this paper, we consider a regular Fractional Sturm–Liouville Problem (FSLP) of order μ (0 < μ < 1). We approximate the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the problem using a fractional variational approach. Recently, Klimek et al. [16] presented the variational approach for FSLPs defined in terms of Caputo derivatives and obtained eigenvalues, eigenfunctions for a special range of fractional order 1/2 < μ < 1. Here, we extend the variational approach for the FSLPs and approximate the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the FSLP for fractional-order μ (0 < μ < 1). We also prove that the FSLP has countably infinite eigenvalues and corresponding eigenfunctions.

A new analytical and numerical solution of the electrodynamic waveguide problem for leaky modes of a planar dielectric symmetric waveguide is proposed. The conditions of leaky modes, corresponding to the Gamow-Siegert model, were used as asymptotic boundary conditions. The resulting initial-boundary problem allows the separation of variables. The emerging problem of the eigen-modes of open three-layer waveguides is formulated as the Sturm-Liouville problem with the corresponding boundary and asymptotic conditions. In the case of guided and radiation modes, the Sturm-Liouville problem is self-adjoint and the corresponding eigenvalues are real quantities for dielectric media. The search for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions corresponding to the leaky modes involves a number of difficulties: the problem for leaky modes is not self-adjoint, so the eigenvalues are complex quantities. The problem of finding eigenvalues and eigenfunctions is associated with finding the complex roots of the nonlinear dispersion equation. To solve this problem, we used the method of minimizing the zero order. An analysis of the calculated distributions of the electric field strength of the first three leaky modes is given, showing the possibilities and advantages of our approach to the study of leaky modes.

In the present paper, a discontinuous boundary-value problem with retarded argument at the two points of discontinuities is investigated. We obtained asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. This is the first work containing two discontinuities points in the theory of differential equations with retarded argument. In that special case the transmission coefficients and retarded argument in the results obtained in this work coincide with corresponding results in the classical Sturm-Liouville operator.

We give the theory of spectral properties for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of Bessel type of fractional singular Sturm-Liouville problem. We show that the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the problem are real and orthogonal, respectively. Furthermore, we prove new approximations about the topic.

We propose a numerical Taylor's Decomposition method to compute approximate eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for regular Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem and nonlinear Euler buckling problem very accurately for relatively large step sizes. For regular Sturm-Liouville problem, the technique is illustrated with three examples and the numerical results show that the approximate eigenvalues are obtained with high-order accuracy without using any correction, and they are compared with the results of other methods. The numerical results of Euler Buckling problem are compared with theoretical aspects, and it is seen that they agree with each other.

We consider the Sturm-Liouville (S-L) problems with very general transmission conditions on a finite interval. Firstly, we obtain the sufficient and necessary condition forλbeing an eigenvalue of the S-L problems by constructing the fundamental solutions of the problems and prove that the eigenvalues of the S-L problems are bounded below and are countably infinite. Furthermore, the asymptotic formulas of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the S-L problems are obtained. Finally, we derive the eigenfunction expansion for Green's function of the S-L problems with transmission conditions and establish the modified Parseval equality in the associated Hilbert space.
