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...

This paper considers the problem of viscous dissipation in the flow of Newtonian fluid through a tube of annular cross section, with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The solution of the problem is obtained by a series expansion about the complete eigenfunctions system of a Sturm-Liouville problem. Eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of this Sturm-Liouville problem are obtained by Galerkin’s method.

In this paper the existence of unique positive solutions for system (p,q,r)-Lapalacian Sturm-Liouville type two-point fractional order boundary vaue problems is established by an application n-fixed point theorem ternary operators on partially ordered metric spaces.

On q-Di®erence Equations Moemen H. Abu-Risha Department of Mathematics Cairo University, Eygpt E-mail: [email protected] We give an investigation of some properties of solutions of linear q¡di®erence equations de ̄ned on an interval [a;1): The cases a = 0 and a > 0 are essentially di®erent. The study of the latter case is necessary for the derivation of asymptotic formulae and oscil...

A spectral parameter power series (SPPS) representation for regular solutions of singular Bessel type Sturm-Liouville equations with complex coefficients is obtained as well as an SPPS representation for the (entire) characteristic function of the corresponding spectral problem on a finite interval. It is proved that the set of zeros of the characteristic function coincides with the set of all ...

In this paper we initiate the oscillation theory for fractional differential equations. Oscillation criteria are obtained for a class of nonlinear fractional differential equations of the form D ax+ f1(t, x) = v(t) + f2(t, x), lim t→a+ J1−q a x(t) = b1, where D a denotes the Riemann-Liouville differential operator of order q, 0 < q ≤ 1. The results are also stated when the Riemann-Liouville dif...

The matrix Sturm–Liouville operator on a finite interval with boundary conditions in general self-adjoint form and singular potential of class $$W_2^{-1}$$ is studied. This generalizes operators geometrical graphs. We investigate structural asymptotical properties the spectral data (eigenvalues weight matrices) this operator. Furthermore, we prove uniqueness recovering from its data, by using ...

see 1–6 and the references therein. In particular, the set-valued right-hand side arises from a jump discontinuity of the albedo at the ice-edge in these models. By filling in such a gap, one arrives at the set-valued problem 1.1 . As in 6 , we are here interested in a considerably simplified version as compared to the situation from climate modeling; for example, a onedimensional regular Sturm...
