چکیده

Hill’s method is a means to numerically approximate spectra of linear differential operators with periodic coefficients. In this paper, we address different issues related to the convergence of Hill’s method. We show the method does not produce any spurious approximations, and that for selfadjoint operators, the method converges in a restricted sense. Furthermore, assuming convergence of an eigenvalue, we prove convergence of the associated eigenfunction approximation in the L2-norm. These results are not restricted to selfadjoint operators. Finally, for certain selfadjoint operators, we prove that the rate of convergence of Hill’s method to the least eigenvalue is faster than any polynomial power.

Convergence of Hill's Method for Nonselfadjoint Operators

By the introduction of a generalized Evans function defined by an appropriate 2-modified Fredholm determinant, we give a simple proof of convergence in location and multiplicity of Hill’s method for numerical approximation of spectra of periodiccoefficient ordinary differential operators. Our results apply to operators of nondegenerate type, under the condition that the principal coefficient ma...

Convergence of a semi-analytical method on the fuzzy linear systems

In this paper, we apply the  homotopy analysis method (HAM) for solving fuzzy  linear systems and present  the necessary and sufficient conditions for the convergence of series solution obtained via the HAM. Also, we present a new criterion for choosing a proper value of convergence-control parameter $hbar$ when the HAM is applied to linear system of equations. Comparisons are made between the ...

On convergence of homotopy analysis method to solve the Schrodinger equation with a power law nonlinearity

In this paper, the homotopy analysis method (HAM) is considered to obtain the solution of the Schrodinger equation with a power law nonlinearity. For this purpose, a theorem is proved to show the convergence of the series solution obtained from the proposed method. Also, an example is solved to illustrate the eciency of the mentioned algorithm and the h-curve is plotted to determine the region ...

On the convergence of the homotopy analysis method to solve the system of partial differential equations

One of the efficient and powerful schemes to solve linear and nonlinear equations is homotopy analysis method (HAM). In this work, we obtain the approximate solution of a system of partial differential equations (PDEs) by means of HAM. For this purpose, we develop the concept of HAM for a system of PDEs as a matrix form. Then, we prove the convergence theorem and apply the proposed method to fi...
