Optimization of the minimum eigenvalue for a class of second order differential operators

چکیده
We consider the problem of how the least eigenvalue of a SturmLiouville problem changes as the coefficients are varied. For a certain class of such problems, it is proved that the least eigenvalue can be maximized by placing constraints on the coefficients. Applications are made to various types of column problems. As a preliminary, we develop the spectral theory for a one term operator which has application to a variety of Sturm-Liouville problems.

Existence results of infinitely many solutions for a class of p(x)-biharmonic problems
The existence of infinitely many weak solutions for a Navier doubly eigenvalue boundary value problem involving the $p(x)$-biharmonic operator is established. In our main result, under an appropriate oscillating behavior of the nonlinearity and suitable assumptions on the variable exponent, a sequence of pairwise distinct solutions is obtained. Furthermore, some applications are pointed out.
متن کاملEigenfunction Expansions for Second-Order Boundary Value Problems with Separated Boundary Conditions
In this paper, we investigate some properties of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of boundary value problems with separated boundary conditions. Also, we obtain formal series solutions for some partial differential equations associated with the second order differential equation, and study necessary and sufficient conditions for the negative and positive eigenvalues of the boundary value problem....

In the present paper, a class of hybrid, nonlinear and non linearizable dynamic systems is considered. The noted dynamic system is generalized to a multi-agent configuration. The interaction of agents is presented based on graph theory and finally, an interaction tensor defines the multi-agent system in leader-follower consensus in order to design a desirable controller for the noted system. A...
متن کاملStability of First Order Ordinary Differential Equations with Colored Noise Forcing
We present a method for determining the stability of a class of stochastically forced ordinary differential equations, where the forcing term can be obtained by passing white noise through a filter of arbitrarily high degree. We use the Fokker-Planck equation to write a partial differential equation for the second moments, which we turn into an eigenvalue problem for a second-order differential...
