Abstract

  Since the classical linear Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem is self-adjoint it possesses a family of eigenfunctions which form an orthonormal basis for the space $L_2$. It is natural to ask if a similar result holds for nonlinear problems. In the present paper we examine the basis property for eigenfunctions of nonlinear Sturm-Liouville equations subject to general linear, separated boundary conditions. This is joint work with Alex Makin from the Moscow State Academy of Instrument-Making and Informatics

All interested are invited to attend.
