We shall extend our previous results (Chanane, 1998) on the computation of eigenvalues of second order SturmLiouville problems to fourth order ones. The approach is based on iterated integrals and Fliess series. @ 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. AMS classification: 34L15; 35C10

We prove some new results which justify the use of interval truncation as a means of regularising a singular fourth order Sturm-Liouville problem near a singular endpoint. Of particular interest are the results in the so called lim-3 case, which has no analogue in second order singular problems.

The disconjugacy theory for forward difference equations was developed by Hartman [15] in a landmark paper which has generated so much activity in the study of difference equations. Sturm theory for a second-order finite difference equation goes back to Fort [12], which also serves as an excellent reference for the calculus of finite differences. Hartman considers the nth-order linear finite di...

in this paper, inverse laplace transform method is applied to analytical solution of the fractional sturm-liouville problems. the method introduces a powerful tool for solving the eigenvalues of the fractional sturm-liouville problems. the results  how that the simplicity and efficiency of this method.

We establish the connection between Sturm–Liouville equations on time scales and Sturm–Liouville equations with measure-valued coefficients. Based on this connection we generalize several results for Sturm–Liouville equations on time scales which have been obtained by various authors in the past.

‎in this paper, we formulate the fourth order sturm-liouville problem (fslp) as a lie group matrix differential equation. by solving this ma- trix differential equation by lie group magnus expansion, we compute the eigenvalues of the fslp. the magnus expansion is an infinite series of multiple integrals of lie brackets. the approximation is, in fact, the truncation of magnus expansion and a gauss...

The Strum-Liouville equation is expressed in Hamiltonian form. A simple generating function is derived which defines a large class of canonical transformations and reduces the Sturm-Liouville equation to the solution of a first order equation with a single unknown. The method is developed with particular reference to the wave equation. The procedure unifies many apparently diverse treatments an...

for some λ ∈ C, x ∈ I = [a, b], and y ∈ C2(I). It was first introduced in a 1837 publication [7] by the eminent French mathematicians Joseph Liouville (1809 1882) and Jacques Charles François Sturm (1803 1855). At this point, our initial questions might be: why is this problem important? What can we say about the structure of this equation? How about the solutions? We will tackle a few basic re...
