AbstractWe consider the multiparameter nonlinear Sturm-Liouville problemwhere are parameters. We assume that1 ≤ q ≤ p1 < p2 < ... ≤ pn < 2q + 3.We shall establish an asymptotic formula of variational eigenvalue λ = λ(μ, α) obtained by using Ljusternik-Schnirelman theory on general level set Nμ, α(α < 0 : parameter of level set). Furthermore,we shall give the optimal condition of {(μ, α)}, under which μi(m + 1 ≤ i ≤ n : fixed) dominates the asymptotic behavior of λ(μ, α).

Quasi-classical asymptotic behavior of the spectrum of a non-self-adjoint Sturm–Liouville problem is studied in the case of a one-parameter family of potentials being third-degree polynomials. For this problem, the phase-integral method is used to derive quantization conditions characterizing the asymptotic distribution of the eigenvalues and their concentration near edges of the limit spectral complex. Topologically different types of limit configurations are described, and critical values of the deformation parameter corresponding to type changes are specified.

Two recent papers have discussed eigenvalue problems relating to second-order, self-adjoint differential equations from the point of view of the deferred approach to the limit in the finite-difference treatment of the problem. In both cases the problem is made definite by considering the differential equationprimes denoting differentiation with respect to x, with two-point boundary conditionsand given at the ends of the interval (0, 1). The usual finite-difference approach is to divide the range (0, 1) into N equal strips of length h = 1/N, giving a set of N + 1 pivotal values φn as the analogue of a solution of (1), φn denoting the pivotal value at x = nh. In terms of central differences we then haveand retaining only second differences yields a finite-difference approximation φn = Un to (1), where the pivotal U-values satisfy the equationsdefined at all internal points, together with two equations holding at the end-points and approximately satisfying the end conditions (2). Here Λ is the corresponding approximation to the eigenvalue λ. A possible finite-difference treatment of the end conditions (2) would be to replace (1) at x = 0 by the central-difference formulaand use the corresponding result for the first derivative of φ, i.e.whereq(x) = λρ(x) – σ(x). Eliminating the external value φ–1 between these two and making use of (1) and (2) we obtain the equationwhere for convenience we write k0 = B0/A0. Similarly at x = 1 we obtainwithkN = B1/A1. If we neglect terms in h3 in these two they become what are usually taken to be the first approximation to the end conditions (2) to be used in conjunction with the set (4) (with the appropriate change φ = U, λ = Λ). This, however, results in a loss of accuracy at the end-points over the general level of accuracy of the set (4), which is O(h4), so there is some justification for retaining the terms in h3, e.g. if a difference correction method were being used they would subsequently be added as a correction term.

AbstractIn this paper, we are concerned with the eigenvalue gap and eigenvalue ratio of the Dirichlet conformable fractional Sturm–Liouville problems. We show that this kind of differential equation satisfies the Sturm–Liouville property by the Prüfer substitution. That is, the nth eigenfunction has $n-1$ n − 1 zero in $( 0,\pi ) $ ( 0 , π ) for $n\in \mathbb{N}$ n ∈ N . Then, using the homotopy argument, we find the minimum of the first eigenvalue gap under the class of single-well potential functions and the first eigenvalue ratio under the class of single-barrier density functions. The result of the eigenvalue gap is different from the classical Sturm–Liouville problem.

AbstractNonlinear eigenvalue problems for fluxons in long Josephson junctions with exponentially varying width are treated. Appropriate algorithms are created and realized numerically. The results obtained concern the stability of the fluxons, the centering both magnetic field and current for the magnetic flux quanta in the Josephson junction as well as the ascertaining of the impact of the geometric and physical parameters on these quantities. Each static solution of the nonlinear boundary-value problem is identified as stable or unstable in dependence on the eigenvalues of associated Sturm-Liouville problem. The above compound problem is linearized and solved by using of the reliable Continuous analogue of Newton method.

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.

In the following I discuss the properties, in particular the completeness of the set of eigenfunctions, of an eigenvalue problem which differs from the well-known Sturm-Liouville problem by the boundary condition being of a rather unusual type.The problem arises in the theory of nuclear collisions, and for our present purpose we take it in the simplified formwhere 0 ≤ x ≤ 1. V(x) is a given real function, which we assume to be integrable and to remain between the bounds ± M, and W is an eigenvalue. The eigenfunction ψ(x) is subject to the boundary conditionsand
