We obtain asymptotic formulas with arbitrary order of accuracy for the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a nonselfadjoint ordinary differential operator of order n whose coefficients are Lebesgue integrable on [0, 1] and the boundary conditions are strongly regular. The orders of asymptotic formulas are independent of smoothness of the coefficients.

We obtain asymptotic formulas for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the operator generated by a system of ordinary differential equations with summable coefficients and quasiperiodic boundary conditions. Then by using these asymptotic formulas, we find conditions on the coefficients for which the number of gaps in the spectrum of the self-adjoint differential operator with the periodic matrix coefficients is finite.


We present a general theorem, with simple proof, on the analyticity (with respect to a parameter λ ) of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a linear homogeneous second-order differential operator H(λ) . The theorem is more general than commonly used ones (Newton 1960) in so far as the boundary conditions may depend explicitly on the parameter λ and eigenvalue E . We discuss analogous theorems, the meaning of the condition ( C ) required in the theorem, and boundary conditions at infinity. Finally we extend the theorem to cover homogeneous and non-homogeneous linear problems of arbitrary order , and general non-linear eigenvalue problems .

SynopsisFormulas are determined for the deficiency numbers of a formally symmetric ordinary differential operator with complex coefficients which have asymptotic expansions of a prescribed type on a half-axis. An implication of these formulas is that for any given positive integer there exists a formally symmetric ordinary differential operator whose deficiency numbers differ by that positive integer.

AbstractThe self-adjoint extensions of the singular differential operator Ly = [(py’)’ + qy]/w, where p < 0, w > 0, q ≧ mw, are characterized under limit-circle conditions. It is shown that as long as the coefficients of certain boundary conditions define points which lie between two lines, the extension they help define has the same lower bound.

In this article we obtain asymptotic formulas of arbitrary order for eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the nonselfadjoint Sturm-Liouville operators with Dirichlet boundary conditions, when the potential is a summable function. Then using these we compute the main part of the eigenvalues in special cases.

SynopsisA weighted, formally self-adjoint ordinary differential operator l of order 2n is considered, and conditions are given on the coefficients of l which ensure that all self-adjoint operators associated with l have a spectrum which is discrete and bounded below. Both finite and infinite singularities are considered. The results are obtained by the establishment of certain conditions which imply that l is non-oscillatory.

AbstractGiven a linear self-adjoint differential operator $$\mathscr {L}$$ L along with a discretization scheme (like Finite Differences, Finite Elements, Galerkin Isogeometric Analysis, etc.), in many numerical applications it is crucial to understand how good the (relative) approximation of the whole spectrum of the discretized operator $$\mathscr {L}\,^{(n)}$$ L ( n ) is, compared to the spectrum of the continuous operator $$\mathscr {L}$$ L . The theory of Generalized Locally Toeplitz sequences allows to compute the spectral symbol function $$\omega $$ ω associated to the discrete matrix $$\mathscr {L}\,^{(n)}$$ L ( n ) . Inspired by a recent work by T. J. R. Hughes and coauthors, we prove that the symbol $$\omega $$ ω can measure, asymptotically, the maximum spectral relative error $$\mathscr {E}\ge 0$$ E ≥ 0 . It measures how the scheme is far from a good relative approximation of the whole spectrum of $$\mathscr {L}$$ L , and it suggests a suitable (possibly non-uniform) grid such that, if coupled to an increasing refinement of the order of accuracy of the scheme, guarantees $$\mathscr {E}=0$$ E = 0 .
