Introduction to Sturm-Liouville Theory

Orthogonality Sturm-Liouville problems Eigenvalues and eigenfunctions Sturm-Liouville equations A Sturm-Liouville equation is a second order linear differential equation that can be written in the form (p(x)y′)′ +(q(x) +λr(x))y = 0. Such an equation is said to be in Sturm-Liouville form. Here p,q and r are specific functions, and λ is a ...

Chapter 6 : Sturm-Liouville Problems 57 6.3 Periodic SL-BVP For a periodic SL-BVP also, eigenvalues are real, eigenfunctions corresponding to distinct eigen-values are orthogonal w.r.t. weight function r, but eigenvalues need not be simple. We record these in the following remark.

Solving Boundary Value Problems for Ordinary Di erential ...

Eigenvalue problems, more speci cally Sturm-Liouville problems, are exem-pli ed by y00 + y =0 with y(0) = 0, y(ˇ) = 0. Such a problem obviously has the trivial solution y(x) 0, but for some values of , there are non-trivial solutions. Such are called eigenvalues and the corresponding solutions are called eigenfunctions. If

Sturm-Liouville Boundary Value Prob- lems

a set of boundary value problems whose eigenfunctions are useful in repre-senting solutions of the partial differential equation. Hopefully, those solu-tions will form a useful basis in some function space. A class of problems to which our previous examples belong are the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems. These problems involve self-adjoint

6 Sturm-Liouville Eigenvalue Problems

Sturm-Liouville Eigenvalue Problems 6.1 Introduction In the last chapters we have explored the solution of boundary value problems that led to trigonometric eigenfunctions. Such functions can be used to repre-sent functions in Fourier series expansions. We would like to generalize some of those techniques in order to solve other boundary value ...
