On the convergence of solutions and eigenelements of a boundary value problem in a domain perforated along the boundary

We consider a boundary value problem in a model domain periodically perforated along the boundary. We assume that the homogeneous Neumann condition is posed on the external boundary and the homogeneous Dirichlet condition is posed on the boundary of the cavities. A limit (homogenized) problem is obtained. We prove the convergence of the solutions, eigenvalues, and eigenfunctions of the original problem to the solutions, eigenvalues, and eigenfunctions, respectively, of the limit problem.     

On the spectrum of a multipoint boundary value problem for a fourth-order equation

We study the spectral properties of a multipoint boundary value problem for a fourth-order equation that describes small deformations of a chain of rigidly connected rods with elastic supports. We study the dependence of the spectrum of the boundary value problem on the rigidity coefficients of the supports. We show that the spectrum of the boundary value problem splits into two parts, one of which is movable under changes of the rigidity coefficients and the other remains fixed. As the rigidity coefficients grow, the eigenvalues corresponding to the movable part of the spectrum grow as well; moreover, the double degeneration of some eigenvalues is possible.     

The dirichlet problem for a loaded mixed-type equation in a rectangular domain

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the unique solvability of the first boundary problem for a loaded equation with the Lavrent’ev-Bitsadze operator in a rectangular domain. We obtain a solution to the stated problem as the sum of the eigenfunction series for the corresponding one-dimensional problem with respect to eigenvalues. We prove the stability of the solution with respect to boundary functions.     

Asymptotic Behavior of Eigenvalues of a Boundary Value Problem for a Second-Order Elliptic Differential-Operator Equation with Spectral Parameter Quadratically Occurring in the Boundary Condition

The asymptotic behavior of eigenvalues of a boundary value problem for a secondorder differential-operator equation in a separable Hilbert space on a finite interval is studied for the case in which the same spectral parameter occurs linearly in the equation and quadratically in one of the boundary conditions. We prove that the problem has a sequence of eigenvalues converging to zero.     

Inequalities for lower-order eigenvalues of a fourth-order elliptic operator

In this paper, we investigate the Dirichlet weighted eigenvalues problem of a fourth-order elliptic operator with variable coefficients on a bounded domain with smooth boundary in ? ⁿ . We establish some inequalities for lower-order eigenvalues of this problem. In particular, our results contain an inequality for eigenvalues of the biharmonic operator derived by Cheng, Huang, and Wei.     

Eigenvibrations of a bar with elastically attached load

We study the problem on the eigenvibrations of a bar with an elastically attached load. The problem is reduced to finding the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of an ordinary secondorder differential problem with a spectral parameter nonlinearly occurring in the boundary condition at the load attachment point. We prove the existence of countably many simple positive eigenvalues of the differential problem. The problem is approximated by a grid scheme of the finite element method. We study the convergence and accuracy of the approximate solutions.

Determination of the number of an eigenvalue of a singular nonlinear self-adjoint spectral problem for a linear Hamiltonian system of differential equations

We suggest a method for determining the number of an eigenvalue of a self-adjoint spectral problem nonlinear with respect to the spectral parameter, for some class of Hamiltonian systems of ordinary differential equations on the half-line. The standard boundary conditions are posed at zero, and the solution boundedness condition is posed at infinity. We assume that the matrix of the system is monotone with respect to the spectral parameter. The number of an eigenvalue is determined by the properties of the corresponding nontrivially solvable homogeneous boundary value problem. For the considered class of systems, it becomes possible to compute the numbers of eigenvalues lying in a given range of the spectral parameter without finding the eigenvalues themselves.     

Convergence of solutions and eigenelements of Steklov type boundary value problems with boundary conditions of rapidly varying type

We consider boundary value problems for the Laplace operator in a domain with boundary conditions of rapidly varying type: the Dirichlet homogeneous condition and the third (Fourier) boundary condition or a Steklov type condition. We construct the limit (homogenized) problem and prove that solutions, eigenvalues, and eigenfunctions of the original problem converge respectively to solutions, eigenvalues, and eigenfunctions of the limit problem.

Direct and inverse problems for the Dirac operator with a spectral parameter linearly contained in a boundary condition

We investigate a problem for the Dirac differential operators in the case where an eigenparameter not only appears in the differential equation but is also linearly contained in a boundary condition. We prove uniqueness theorems for the inverse spectral problem with known collection of eigenvalues and normalizing constants or two spectra.     

Boundary-value problem for a class of second-order parameter-dependent dynamic equations on a time scale

In this study, we consider a boundary value problem generated by a second-order dynamic equation on a time scale and boundary conditions depending on the spectral parameter. We give some properties of the solutions and obtain a formulation of the number of eigenvalues of the problem.     

Spectrum comparison for a conserved reaction-diffusion system with a variational property

We are dealing with a two-component system of reaction-diffusion equations with conservation of a mass in a bounded domain subject to the Neumann or the periodic boundary conditions. We consider the case that the conserved system is transformed into a phase-field type system. Then the stationary problem is reduced to that of a scalar reaction-diffusion equation with a nonlocal term. We study the linearized eigenvalue problem of an equilibrium solution to the system, and compare the eigenvalues with ones of the linearized problem arising from the scalar nonlocal equation in terms of the Rayleigh quotient. The main theorem tells that the number of negative eigenvalues of those problems coincide. Hence, a stability result for nonconstant solutions of the scalar nonlocal reaction-diffusion equation is applicable to the system.

The Sturm-Liouville problem with a nonlocal boundary condition

In this paper, we consider the Sturm-Liouville problem with one classical and another nonlocal boundary condition. We investigate general properties of the characteristic function and spectrum for such a problem in the complex case. In the second part, we investigate the case of real eigenvalues, analyze the dependence of the spectrum on parameters of the boundary condition, and describe the qualitative behavior of all eigenvalues subject to of the nonlocal boundary condition.

Computing eigenvalues of Sturm-Liouville problems via optimal control theory

In this paper, we shall address three problems arising in the computation of eigenvalues of Sturm-Liouville boundary value problems. We first consider a well-posed Sturm-Liouville problem with discrete and distinct spectrum. For this problem, we shall show that the eigenvalues can be computed by solving for the zeros of the boundary condition at the terminal point as a function of the eigenvalue. In the second problem, we shall consider the case where some coefficients and parameters in the differential equation are continuously adjustable. For this, the eigenvalues can be optimized with respect to these adjustable coefficients and parameters by reformulating the problem as a combined optimal control and optimal parameter selection problem. Subsequently, these optimized eigenvalues can be computed by using an existing optimal control software, MISER. The last problem extends the first to nonstandard boundary conditions such as periodic or interrelated boundary conditions. To illustrate the efficiency and the versatility of the proposed methods, several non-trivial numerical examples are included.     

Semiclassical asymptotic spectrum of a Hartree-type operator near the upper boundary of spectral clusters

We consider the problem for eigenvalues of a perturbed two-dimensional oscillator in the case of a resonance frequency. The exciting potential is given by a Hartree-type integral operator with a smooth self-action potential. We find asymptotic eigenvalues and asymptotic eigenfunctions near the upper boundary of spectral clusters, which form around energy levels of the nonperturbed operator. To calculate them, we use asymptotic formulas for quantum means.     

A Mixed Problem for a Hyperbolic System on the Plane with Delay in the Boundary Conditions

We examine well-posedness of the boundary value problem in a half-strip for a first-order linear hyperbolic system with delay (lumped and distributed) in the boundary conditions. In the case of the negative real parts of the eigenvalues of the corresponding spectral problem we prove a time uniform estimate for a solution to the homogeneous problem which enables us to justify the linearization principle for analysis of stability of stationary solutions to the nonlinear problem.
