Computation of Green's matrices for boundary value problems associated with a pair of mixed linear regular ordinary differential operators.
Using the cone theory and the lattice structure, we establish some methods of computation of the topological degree for the nonlinear operators which are not assumed to be cone mappings. As applications, existence results of nontrivial solutions for singular Sturm-Liouville problems are given. The nonlinearity in the equations can take negative values and may be unbounded from below.
We introduce and study conditional differential equations, a kind of random differential equations. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution of such an equation. We apply our main result to a Malthus type model.
Starting from the Rodrigues representation of polynomial solutions of the general hypergeometric-type differential equation complementary polynomials are constructed using a natural method. Among the key results is a generating function in closed form leading to short and transparent derivations of recursion relations and addition theorem. The complementary polynomials satisfy a hypergeometric-type differential equation themselves, have a three-term recursion among others and obey Rodrigues formulas....
Using Fan’s Min-Max Theorem we investigate existence of solutions and their dependence on parameters for some second order discrete boundary value problem. The approach is based on variational methods and solutions are obtained as saddle points to the relevant Euler action functional.
We design shifted transformations based on the integrable discrete hungry Toda equation to compute eigenvalues of totally nonnegative matrices of the banded Hessenberg form. The shifted transformation can be regarded as an extension of the extension employed in the well-known dqds algorithm for the symmetric tridiagonal eigenvalue problem. In this paper, we propose a new and effective shift strategy for the sequence of shifted transformations by considering the concept of the Newton shift....
