Sturm-picone Type Theorems for Second-order Nonlinear Elliptic Differential Equations
The aim of this article is to give Sturm-Picone type theorems for the pair of second order nonlinear elliptic differential equations div(p1(x)|∇u|∇u) + q1(x)f1(u) + r1(x)g1(u) = 0, div(p2(x)|∇v|∇v) + q2(x)f2(v) + r2(x)g2(v) = 0, where | · | denotes the Euclidean length and ∇ = ( ∂ ∂x1 , . . . , ∂ ∂xn )T (the superscript T denotes the transpose). Our results include some earlier results and gene...
متن کاملSome Analytical and Numerical Consequences of Sturm Theorems
The Sturm comparison theorems for second order ODEs are classical results from which information on the properties of the zeros of special functions can be obtained. Sturm separation and comparison theorems are also available for difference-differential systems under oscillatory conditions. The separation theorem provides interlacing information for zeros of some special functions and the compa...
متن کاملOn inverse problem for singular Sturm-Liouville operator with discontinuity conditions
In this study, properties of spectral characteristic are investigated for singular Sturm-Liouville operators in the case where an eigen parameter not only appears in the differential equation but is also linearly contained in the jump conditions. Also Weyl function for considering operator has been defined and the theorems which related to uniqueness of solution of inverse proble...
متن کاملA Generalized Sturm Theory for Indefinite Elliptic Systems
Sturm results on oscillation and comparison for solutions of a second-order differential equation have a topological nature in their own. Roughly speaking they describe the rotation of a straight line in the phase plane of the equation. Many generalization of this results were obtained; among the others we recall the symplectic version due to Arnol’d in [2] for second order hamiltonian systems ...
متن کاملSpectral Properties and Oscillation Theorems for Mixed Boundary-Value Problems of Sturm-Liouville Type
This paper presents analogs, for certain mixed boundary-value problems, of the spectral and oscillatory properties exhibited by classical Sturm-Liouville systems. ‘l’he usual analysis of the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem is based on special ad hoc methods. In contrast, Gantmacher and Krein [3; see also references therein] showed that these fundamental spectral properties are direct consequ...
