— In this work, we use the regularized sampling method to compute the eigenvalues of Sturm Liouville problems with discontinuity conditions inside a finite interval. We work out an example by computing a few eigenvalues and their corresponding eigenfunctions.

We nd the adjoint of the Askey-Wilson divided di erence operator with respect to the inner product on L 2 ( 1; 1; (1 x 2 ) 1=2 dx) de ned as a Cauchy principal value and show that the Askey-Wilson polynomials are solutions of a q-Sturm-Liouville problem. From these facts we deduce various properties of the polynomials in a simple and straightforward way. We also provide an operator theoretic de...

The measure algebras of the title are those which are also hypergroups with some regularity conditions, Examples include the convolutions associated with Jacobi polynomial series and Fourier Bessel series, It is shown here that there is a one-to-one correspondence between these hypergroups and a class of Sturm-Liouville problems which have the characters of the hypergroup as eigenfunctions, The...

In this article we establish an oscillation theorem for second order Sturm-Liouville difference equations with general nonlinear dependence on the spectral parameter l. This nonlinear dependence on l is allowed both in the leading coefficient and in the potential. We extend the traditional notions of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions to this more general setting. Our main result generalizes the re...

We study an explicit correspondence between the integrable modified KdV hierarchy and its dual integrable modified Camassa-Holm hierarchy. A Liouville transformation between the isospectral problems of the two hierarchies also relates their respective recursion operators, and serves to establish the Liouville correspondence between their flows and Hamiltonian conservation laws. In addition, a n...

In recent years several high quality Sturm-Liouville software packages have been written (e.g., SLEDGE, SLEIGN, the NAG routine SL02FM). All excel at providing eigenfunction estimates at a nite set of points but only the NAG routine provides interpolation capability, and this by a fairly crude method (especially when compared with the sophistication of its eigenvalue solver). We describe an acc...

This paper examines and develops matrix methods to approximate the eigenvalues of a fourth order Sturm-Liouville problem subjected to a kind of fixed boundary conditions, furthermore, it extends the matrix methods for a kind of general boundary conditions. The idea of the methods comes from finite difference and Numerov’s method as well as boundary value methods for second order regular Sturm-L...

We study dynamic minimization problems of the calculus of variations with Lagrangian functionals containing Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals, classical and Caputo fractional derivatives. Under assumptions of regularity, coercivity and convexity, we prove existence of solutions. AMS Subject Classifications: 26A33, 49J05.

We prove Euler-Lagrange fractional equations and sufficient optimality conditions for problems of the calculus of variations with functionals containing both fractional derivatives and fractional integrals in the sense of Riemann-Liouville.

An inverse nodal problem consists in reconstructing this operator from the given zeros of their eigenfunctions. In this work, we are concerned with the inverse nodal problem of the Sturm-Liouville operator with eigenparameter dependent boundary conditions on a finite interval. We prove uniqueness theorems: a dense subset of nodal points uniquely determine the parameters of the boundary conditio...
