Matrix boundary value problems with eigenvalue dependent boundary conditions (the linear case)

From MaRDI portal





The author considers a regular second-order \(d\times d\)-matrix boundary eigenvalue problem with boundary conditions that depend on the eigenvalue parameter linearly. The differential equation as well as the boundary conditions are assumed to have certain symmetry properties. As usual for eigenvalue dependent boundary conditions, he associates an operator with this problem acting from \((L_2(0,1))^d\) into \((L_2(0,1))^d\times\mathbb{C}^{2d}\) the first component of which is given by the differential equation and the second by the boundary conditions. It turns out that this operator is selfadjoint in a certain indefinite inner product space which immediately yields information about its spectral properties (e.g. completeness and basis properties of the eigenfunctions and associated functions). This inner product is established by means of the generalized Lagrange identity which involves the \(V\)-Bezoutian of the linear matrix polynomials arising from the boundary conditions. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0868.00053].
