Multiparameter spectral problem for some weakly coupled systems of Hamiltonian equations (Q731569)

The authors are concerned with the constructive solution of multiparameter spectral problems for Hamiltonian systems of the type \[ J \; y_i' = \left( q_i(t) + \sum_{j=1}^n \lambda_i a_{ij}(t) \right) y_i, \qquad i=1, \dots ,n,\quad t \in [0,1], \] where \( q_i, a_{ij}\) are continuous function from \( [0,1] \to \mathbb{C}^{2 \times 2},\;\) \( \lambda_j\) are real numbers and \(J\) is the structure matrix of the Hamiltonian system. This differential system is supplemented with linear boundary conditions \(\varphi_i y_i(0) = 0,\) \(\psi_i y_i(1) = 0,\) where \(\varphi_i, \psi_i \in \mathbb{C}^{1 \times 2}\) are rank one matrices with \(\varphi_i J \varphi_i^* = 0\) and \( \psi_i J \psi_i^* = 0\). In this context, assuming the strong right definiteness of the problem, the authors propose to take suitable \( t_j^0 \in [0,1], j=1, \dots,n, \) and non zero columns \(v_j^0 \in \mathbb{C}^2, j=1, \dots,n,\) so that an auxiliary differential system as above with \((a_{ij}(t))\) substituted by \(a_{ij}^0 I = (v_i^0)^* \; a_{ij}(t_i^0) \; v_i^0\) with the same boundary conditions reduces to \(n\) uncoupled boundary value problems and can be easily solved. After that, a well defined continuation process is defined so that leads to the solution of the original problem. The paper ends with some remarks on the practical solution with the proposed approach.
