The boundary-value problem for an eighth-order differential operator whose potential is a piecewise continuous function on the segment of the operator definition is studied. The weight function is piecewise constant. At the discontinuity points of the operator coefficients, the conditions of "conjugation" must be satislied which follow from physical considerations. The boundary conditions of the studied boundary value problem are separated and depend on several parameters. Thus, we simultaneously study the spectral properties of entire family of differential operators with discontinuous coefficients. The asymptotic behavior of the solutions of differential equations defining the operator is obtained for large values of the spectral parameter. Using these asymptotic expansions, the conditions of "conjugation" are investigated; as a result, the boundary conditions are studied. The equation on eigenvalues of the investigated boundary value problem is obtained. It is shown that the eigenvalues are the roots of some entire function. The indicator diagram of the eigenvalue equation is investigated. The asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues in various sectors of the indicator diagram is found.

The investigations reported in this paper were prompted by a remark by A. M. Krall in [2] that certain functional which appear in the boundary conditions of the system adjoint to a given linear differential boundary value problem seem artificial in that setting.

We give a characterization of the spectral properties of linear differential operators with constant coefficients, acting on functions defined on a bounded interval, and determined by general linear boundary conditions. The boundary conditions may be such that the resulting operator is not selfadjoint. We associate the spectral properties of such an operator S with the properties of the solution of a corresponding boundary value problem for the partial differential equation ∂ t q ±i Sq =0. Namely, we are able to establish an explicit correspondence between the properties of the family of eigenfunctions of the operator, and in particular, whether this family is a basis, and the existence and properties of the unique solution of the associated boundary value problem. When such a unique solution exists, we consider its representation as a complex contour integral that is obtained using a transform method recently proposed by Fokas and one of the authors. The analyticity properties of the integrand in this representation are crucial for studying the spectral theory of the associated operator.

A second-order boundary value problem with nonlinear and mixed two-point boundary conditions is considered,Lx=f(t,x,x′),t∈(a,b),g(x(a),x(b),x′(a),x′(b))=0,x(b)=x(a)in whichLis a formally self-adjoint second-order differential operator. Under appropriate assumptions onL,f, andg, existence and uniqueness of solutions is established by the method of upper and lower solutions and Leray-Schauder degree theory. The general quasilinearization method is then applied to this problem. Two monotone sequences converging quadratically to the unique solution are constructed.

In this paper we propose a new method for studying differential operators with discontinuous coefficients.We consider a sequence of sixth-order differential operators with piecewise-smooth coefficients. The limit of the sequence of these operators’ potentials is the Dirac delta function. The boundary conditions are separated. To correctly determine solutions of differential equations with discontinuous coefficients at the points of discontinuity, “gluing” conditions are required. Asymptotic solutions were written out for large values of the spectral parameter, with the help of them the “gluing” conditions were studied and the boundary conditions were investigated. As a result, we derive an eigenvalues equation for the operator under study, which is an entire function. The indicator diagram of the eigenvalues equation, which is a regular hexagon, is investigated. In various sectors of the indicator diagram, the method of successive approximations has been used to find the eigenvalues asymptotics of the studied differential operators. The limit of the asymptotic of the spectrum determines the spectrum of the sixth-order operator, whose potential is the delta function.

The paper discusses direct and inverse problems of oscillations of the string taking into account symmetrical characteristics of the external environment. In particular, we propose a modified method of finding natural frequencies using power series, and also the problem of identification of the boundary conditions type and parameters for the boundary value problem describing the vibrations of a string is solved. It is shown that to identify the form and parameters of the boundary conditions the two natural frequencies is enough in the case of a symmetric potential q(x). The estimation of the convergence of the proposed methods is done.

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}.
