On Calculating the Eigenvalues of the Finite Hill's Differential Equation
The method proposed here has been devised for solution of the spectral problem for the Lamé wave equation (see [2]), but extended lately to more general problems. This method is based on the phase function concept or the Prüfer angle determined by the Prüfer transformation cotθ(x) = y'(x)/y(x), where y(x) is a solution of a second order self-adjoint o.d.e. The Prüfer angle θ(x) has some useful properties very often being referred to in theoretical research concerning both single- and multi-parameter...
In the present paper we are concerned with the problem of numerical solution of ordinary differential equations with parameters. Our method is based on a one-step procedure for IDEs combined with an iterative process. Simple sufficient conditions for the convergence of this method are obtained. Estimations of errors and some numerical examples are given.
