In this paper, the inverse spectral problem of Sturm-Liouville operator with boundary conditions and jump conditions dependent on the spectral parameter is investigated. Firstly, the self-adjointness of the problem and the eigenvalue properties are given, then the asymptotic formulas of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are presented. Finally, the uniqueness theorems of the corresponding inverse problems are given by Weyl function theory and inverse spectral data approach.

STURM-LIOUVILLE PROBLEMS WITH EIGENDEPENDENT BOUNDARY AND TRANSMISSIONS CONDITIONS

The purpose of this paper is to extend some fundamental spectral properties of regular Sturm-Liouville problems to special kind discontinuous boundary value problem, which consist of a Sturm-Liouville equation with piecewise continuous potential together with eigenvalue parameter on the boundary and transmission conditions. The authors suggest their own approach for finding asymptotic approximations formulas for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of such discontinuous problems.

VECTORIAL EKELAND VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLE AND CYCLICALLY ANTIMONOTONE EQUILIBRIUM PROBLEMS

In this article, we extend the cyclic antimonotonicity from scalar bifunctions to vector bifunctions. We find out a cyclically antimonotone vector bifunction can be regarded as a family of cyclically antimonotone scalar bifunctions. Using a pre-order principle(see Qiu, 2014), we prove a new version of Ekeland variational principle(briefly, denoted by EVP), which is quite different from the previous ones, for the objective function consists of a family of scalar functions. From the new version, we deduce several vectorial EVPs for cyclically antimonotone equilibrium problems, which extend and improve the previous results. By developing the original method proposed by Castellani and Giuli, we deduce a number of existence results(no matter scalar-valued case,or vector-valued case), when the feasible set is a sequentially compact topological space or a countably compact topological space. Finally, we propose a general coercivity condition. Combining the general coercivity condition and the obtained existence results with compactness conditions, we obtain several existence results for equilibrium problems in noncompact settings.

Inequalities Among Eigenvalues of Left-definite Sturm-Liouville Problems

For any fixed equation, we establish a sequence of inequalities among the eigenvalues for different boundary conditions, which is both theoretical and computational importance.

Eigenvalue Computation of Regular 4th Order Sturm-Liouville Problems

In this paper we present and test a numerical method for computing eigenvalues of 4th order Sturm-Liouville (SL) differential operators on finite intervals with regular boundary conditions. This method is a 4th order shooting method based on Magnus expansions (MG4) which use MG4 shooting as the integrator. This method is similar to the SLEUTH (Sturm-Liouville Eigenvalues Using Theta Matrices) method of Greenberg and Marletta which uses the 2nd order Pruess method (also known as the MG2 shooting method) for the integrator. This method often achieves near machine precision accuracies, and some comparisons of its performance against the well-known SLEUTH software package are presented.
