We consider a boundary value problem involving a Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative of order α ∈ (3/2, 2) on the unit interval (0, 1). The standard Galerkin finite element approximation converges slowly due to the presence of singularity term xα−1 in the solution representation. In this work, we develop a simple technique, by transforming it into a second-order two-point boundary value pro...

Solving an inverse Sturm-Liouville problem requires a mathematical process to determine unknown function in the Sturm-Liouville operator from given data in addition to the boundary values. In this paper, we identify a Sturm-Liouville potential function by using the data of one eigenfunction and its corresponding eigenvalue, and identify a spatial-dependent unknown function of a SturmLiouville d...

In this study by modifying some techniques of classical Sturm-Liouville theory and suggesting own approaches we investigate some spectral properties of one Sturm-Liouville type problem on two disjoint intervals.

In this paper we present a study on the analogous properties of discrete and continuous Sturm-Liouville problems arising in matrix analysis and differential equations, respectively. Green’s functions in both cases have analogous expressions in terms of the spectral data. Most of the results associated to inverse problems in both cases are identical. In particular, in both cases Weyl’s m-functio...

The aim of this paper is to study the high order difference scheme for the solution of a fractional partial differential equation (PDE) in the electroanalytical chemistry. The space fractional derivative is described in the Riemann-Liouville sense. In the proposed scheme we discretize the space derivative with a fourth-order compact scheme and use the Grunwald- Letnikov discretization of the Ri...

We consider a regular indefinite Sturm-Liouville problem with two self-adjoint boundary conditions, one being affinely dependent on the eigen-parameter. We give sufficient conditions under which a basis of each root subspace for this Sturm-Liouville problem can be selected so that the union of all these bases constitutes a Riesz basis of a corresponding weighted Hilbert space.

The zeros of the eigenfunctions of self-adjoint Sturm–Liouville eigenvalue problems interlace. For these problems interlacing is crucial for completeness. For the complex Sturm–Liouville problem associated with the Schrödinger equation for a non-Hermitian PT-symmetric Hamiltonian, completeness and interlacing of zeros have never been examined. This paper reports a numerical study of the Sturm– ...
