Abstract: A spectral parameter power series (SPPS) representation for solutions of Sturm-Liouville equations of the form (pu')'+qu=usum_{k=1}^{N}lambda^{k}r_{k} is obtained. It allows one to write a general solution of the equation as a power series in terms of the spectral parameter lambda. The coefficients of the series are given in terms of recursive integrals involving a particular solution of the equation (pu0)+qu0=0. The convenient form of the solution provides an efficient numerical method for solving corresponding initial value, boundary value and spectral problems. A special case of the considered Sturm-Liouville equation arises in relation with the Zakharov-Shabat system. We derive an SPPS representation for its general solution and consider other applications as the one-dimensional Dirac system and the equation describing a damped string. Several numerical examples illustrate the efficiency and the accuracy of the numerical method based on the SPPS representations which besides its natural advantages like the simplicity in implementation and accuracy is applicable to the problems admitting complex coefficients, spectral parameter dependent boundary conditions and complex spectrum.
