Sturm–Liouville operators on time scales

We establish the connection between Sturm–Liouville equations on time scales and Sturm–Liouville equations with measure-valued coefficients. Based on this connection, we generalize several results for Sturm–Liouville equations on time scales, which have been obtained by various authors in the past.     

On the multiplicity of eigenvalues of the Sturm–Liouville problem on graphs

Bounds for the multiplicity of the eigenvalues of the Sturm–Liouville problem on a graph, which are valid for a wide class of consistency (transmission) conditions at the vertices of the graph, are given. The multiplicities are estimated using the topological characteristics of the graph. In the framework of the notions that we use, the bounds turn out to be exact.     

Infinitely many solutions for a double Sturm–Liouville problem

In this paper, we prove the existence of infinitely many solutions to differential problems where both the equation and the conditions are Sturm?CLiouville type. The approach is based on critical point theory.     

An inverse problem for Sturm–Liouville differential operators on A-graphs

An inverse problem of spectral analysis is studied for Sturm–Liouville differential operators on a A-graph with the standard matching conditions for internal vertices. The uniqueness theorem is proved, and a constructive solution for this class of inverse problems is obtained.     

Positive solutions for system of 2n-th order Sturm–Liouville boundary value problems on time scales

Intervals of the parameters λ and μ are determined for which there exist positive solutions to the system of dynamic equations $$ \begin{array}{lll} && (-1)^nu^{\Delta^{2n}}(t)+\lambda p(t)f(v(\sigma(t)))=0,\quad t\in[a, b], \\ &&(-1)^n v^{\Delta^{2n}}(t)+\mu q(t)g(u(\sigma(t)))=0, \quad t\in[a, b], \end{array} $$ satisfying the Sturm–Liouville boundary conditions $$ \begin{array}{lll} &&\alpha_{i+1} u^{\Delta^{2i}}(a)-\beta_{i+1} u^{\Delta^{2i+1}}(a)=0,\;\gamma_{i+1} u^{\Delta^{2i}}(\sigma(b))+\delta_{i+1} u^{\Delta^{2i+1}}(\sigma(b))=0,\\ &&\alpha_{i+1} v^{\Delta^{2i}}(a)-\beta_{i+1} v^{\Delta^{2i+1}}(a)=0,\; \gamma_{i+1} v^{\Delta^{2i}}(\sigma(b))+\delta_{i+1} v^{\Delta^{2i+1}}(\sigma(b))=0, \end{array} $$ for 0?≤?i?≤?n???1. To this end we apply a Guo–Krasnosel’skii fixed point theorem.     

Inverse Sturm–Liouville problem on equilateral regular tree

In this article, we consider a spectral problem generated by the Sturm–Liouville equation on the edges of an equilateral regular tree. It is assumed that the Dirichlet boundary conditions are imposed at the pendant vertices and continuity and Kirchhoff's conditions at the interior vertices. The potential in the Sturm–Liouville equations, the same on each edge, is real, symmetric with respect to the middle of an edge and belongs to L ₂(0,?a) where a is the length of an edge. Conditions are obtained on a sequence of real numbers necessary and sufficient to be the spectrum of the considered spectral problem.     

Decent flow methods for inverse Sturm–Liouville problem

In this paper, we propose three numerical methods for the inverse Sturm–Liouville operator in impedance form. We use a finite difference method to discretize the Sturm–Liouville operator and expand the impedance function with some basis functions. The correction technique is discussed. By solving an un-weighted least squares problem, we find an approximation to the impedance function. Numerical experiments are presented to show the accuracy and stability of the numerical methods.     

Variational methods for the fractional Sturm–Liouville problem

This article is devoted to the regular fractional Sturm–Liouville eigenvalue problem. By applying the methods of fractional variational analysis, we prove the existence of a countable set of orthogonal solutions and corresponding eigenvalues. Moreover, we formulate two results showing that the lowest eigenvalue is the minimum value for a certain variational functional.     

A result on Waring–Goldbach problem for cubes

In this paper, we prove that, with at most O(N ^5/6+ε ) exceptions, all positive integers n ⩽ N can be written as sums of a cube and four cubes of primes.     

Irregular boundary value problem for the Sturm–Liouville operator

We consider an eigenvalue problem for the Sturm–Liouville operator with nonclassical asymptotics of the spectrum. We prove that this problem, which has a complete system of root functions, is not almost regular (Stone-regular) but its Green function has a polynomial order of growth in the spectral parameter.     

Regularized Trace for Sturm–Liouville Differential Operator on a Star-Shaped Graph

The sum of the eigenvalues {λ _n } of an operator is usually called its trace. For the eigenvalues λ _n of an differential operator, the series ${\sum_n \lambda_n}$ , generally speaking, diverges; however, it can be regularized by subtracting from λ _n the first terms of the asymptotic expansion, which interfere with the convergence of the series. The sum of such a regularized series is called the trace. In this work, we consider the spectral problem for Sturm–Liouville differential operator on d-star-type graph with a Kirchhoff-type condition in the internal vertex, where the integer d ≥ 2. Regularized trace formula of this operator is established with residue techniques in complex analysis.     

Existence results for discrete Sturm–Liouville problem via variational methods

In this paper, we investigate the solutions of second-order discrete Sturm–Liouville boundary value problem (BVP) with a p-Laplacian. By using critical point theory the existence results are obtained.     

Note on a nonlocal Sturm–Liouville problem with both right and left fractional derivatives

In this paper, we research the geometric multiplicity of eigenvalues for a nonlocal Sturm–Liouville eigenvalue problem. To this end, we study the uniqueness of solutions for a nonlocal Sturm–Liouville problem under some initial value conditions.
