Abstract: | We develop a simple oscillation theory for singular Sturm‐Liouville problems and combine it with recent asymptotic results, and with the AWA interval‐arithmetic code for integration of initial value problems with guaranteed error bounds, to obtain eigenvalue approximations with guaranteed error bounds for a class of singular Sturm‐Liouville problems. We believe that this is the first time that this has been achieved for singular eigenvalue problems. |
