CRC Press Sturm-Liouville Problems: Theory and Numerical Implementation

Sturm-Liouville Problems: Theory and Numerical Implementation provides a unified approach to understanding eigenvalue problems in ordinary and partial differential equations. These problems appear frequently when solving technical challenges in engineering and physics, and they are increasingly relevant in biology and the social sciences. This text addresses the core issues faced in science and engineering applications. It is specifically designed for situations where separation of variables, variational methods, or other mathematical considerations lead to Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems and boundary value problems. By focusing on both theory and numerical implementation, this monograph serves as a practical resource for researchers and students working with complex mathematical models. Part of the Chapman and Hall/CRC Monographs and Research Notes in Mathematics series, this book offers a structured way to approach these essential mathematical tools. It helps bridge the gap between abstract theory and the practical requirements of modern scientific and engineering disciplines.
