TY - EJOU AU - Reutskiy, S.Yu. TI - A Meshless Method for Nonlinear, Singular and Generalized Sturm-Liouville Problems T2 - Computer Modeling in Engineering \& Sciences PY - 2008 VL - 34 IS - 3 SN - 1526-1506 AB - A new numerical technique for solving generalized Sturm--Liouville problem d2w/dx2 + q(x, λ )w = 0, bl[ λ ,w(a)] = br[ λ ,w(b)] = 0 is presented. In is presented. In particular, we consider the problems when the coefficient q(x, λ) or the boundary conditions depend on the spectral parameter λ in an arbitrary nonlinear manner. The method presented is based on mathematically modelling of physical response of a system to excitation over a range of frequencies. The response amplitudes are then used to determine the eigenvalues. The same technique can be applied to a very wide class of the eigenproblems: the Sturm--Liouville problems, the Schrodinger equation, the non-classical non-linear Sturm--Liouville problems, periodic problems. The results of the numerical experiments justifying the method are presented.
