In this paper we consider the types of pairs of multiple zeros which a solution to the differential equationcan possess on an interval I of the real line. The results obtained generalize those in [2] and (for n = 3) in [3].I. Let f satisfy the condition1.1for all t ∊ I, u0 ≠ 0, and all u1, … un-1.

Sign Restriction

A much-studied equation in recent years has been the second order nonlinear ordinary differential equationwhere q and f are continuous on the real line and, in addition, f is monotone increasing with yf(y) > 0 for y ≠ 0. Although the original interest in (1) lay largely with the case that q﹛t) ≧ 0 for all large values of t, a number of papers have recently appeared in which this sign restriction is removed.

SynopsisIn an earlier paper [6] we showed that if q ϵ CN[0, ε) for some ε > 0, then the Titchmarsh–Weyl m(λ) function associated with the second order linear differential equationhas the asymptotic expansionas |A| →∞ in a sector of the form 0 < δ < arg λ < π – δ.We show that if the real valued function q admits the expansionin a neighbourhood of 0, then

It is well known that no rational number is approximable to order higher than 1. Roth [3] showed that an algebraic number is not approximable to order greater than 2. On the other hand it is easy to construct numbers, the Liouville numbers, which are approximable to any order (see [2], p. 162). We are led to the question, “Let Nn(α, β) denote the number of distinct rational points with denominators ≦ n contained in an interval (α, β). What is the behaviour of Nn(α, + 1/n) as α varies on the real line?” We shall prove that and that there are “compressions” and “rarefactions” of rational points on the real line.

Linear Homogeneous Differential Equation

Associated with each linear homogeneous differential equationy(n)=∑i=0n−1ai(x)y(i)of ordernon the real line, there is an equivalent integral equationf(x)=f(x0)+∫x0xh(u)du+∫x0x[∫x0uGn−1(u,v)a0(v)f(v)dv]duwhich is satisfied by each solutionf(x)of the differential equation.

Let L and M be linear ordinary differential operators defined on an interval I, not necessarily bounded, of the real line. We wish to consider the expansion of arbitrary functions in eigenfunctions of the differential equation Lu = λMu on I. The case where M is the identity operator and L has a self-adjoint realization as an operator in the Hilbert space L 2(I) has been treated in various ways by several authors; an extensive bibliography may be found in (4) or (8).

Suppose F is a one-dimensional distribution function, that is, a function from the real line to the real line that is right-continuous and non-decreasing. For any such function F we shall write F{I} = F(b)– F(a) where I is the half-open interval (a, b]. Denote the k-fold convolution of F with itself by Fk* and let Now if z is a non-negative function we may form the convolution although Z may be infinite for some (and possibly all) points.

A Sturm-Liouville function is simply a non-trivial solution of the Sturm-Liouville differential equation(1.1)considered, together with everything else in this study, in the real domain. The associated quantities whose higher monotonicity properties are determined here are defined, for fixed λ > –1, to be(1.2)where y(x) is an arbitrary (non-trivial) solution of (1.1) and x1, x2, … is any finite or infinite sequence of consecutive zeros of any non-trivial solution z(x) of (1.1) which may or may not be linearly independent of y(x). The condition λ > –1 is required to assure convergence of the integral defining Mk, and the function W(x) is taken subject to the same restriction.
