The inverse Sturm-Liouville problem finds its applications in the identification of mechanical properties and/or geometrical configurations of a vibrating continuous medium; however, this problem is hard to solve, either theoretically or numerically. Previously, Liu (2008a) has constructed a Lie-group shooting method to determine the eigenvalues, and the corresponding eigenfunctions, for the di...

In this paper, we consider the application of the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) to compute the eigenvalues of the Sturm-Liouville problem (SLP) which is called non-definite SLP. Two important Examples show that HPM is reliable method for computing the eigenvalues of SLP.

‎This paper deals with the singular Sturm-Liouville expressions‎ ‎$ ‎ell y =‎ -‎y''+q(x)y=lambda y‎ ‎$‎ ‎on a finite interval‎, ‎where the potential function $q$ is real and‎ ‎has a singularity inside the interval‎. ‎Using the asymptotic estimates of a‎ ‎spectral fundamental system of solutions of Sturm-Liouville‎ ‎equation‎, ‎the asymptotic form of the solution of the‎ ‎equation (0.1) and the ...

This study is on the fuzzy eigenvalues and fuzzy eigenfunctions of the Sturm-Liouville fuzzy problem with fuzzy eigenvalue parameter. We find fuzzy eigenvalues and fuzzy eigenfunctions of the problem under the approach of Hukuhara differentiability. We solve an example. We draw the graphics of eigenfunctions. We show that eigenfunctions are valid fuzzy functions or not.

‎in this paper‎, ‎we find matrix representation of a class of sixth order sturm-liouville problem (slp) with separated‎, ‎self-adjoint boundary conditions and we show that such slp have finite spectrum‎. ‎also for a given matrix eigenvalue problem $hx=lambda vx$‎, ‎where $h$ is a block tridiagonal matrix and $v$ is a block diagonal matrix‎, ‎we find a sixth order boundary value problem of atkin...

The one-dimensional harmonic oscillator wave functions are solutions to a SturmLiouville problem posed on the whole real line. This problem generates the Hermite polynomials. However, no other set of orthogonal polynomials can be obtained from a Sturm-Liouville problem on the whole real line. In this paper we show how to characterize an arbitrary set of polynomials orthogonal on (−∞,∞) in terms...

In this paper we define the Evans function for Sturm-Liouville problems. We show that the Evans function is analytic in the spectral parameter, has zeros in one-to-one correspondence with the eigenvalues, and is under certain conditions what we call conjugate symmetric. We conclude by showing that the Evans function can be used to track the movement of the eigenvalues as the coefficients in the...
