TY - JOUR A1 - Perera, Upeksha A1 - Böckmann, Christine T1 - Solutions of Sturm-Liouville problems JF - Mathematics N2 - This paper further improves the Lie group method with Magnus expansion proposed in a previous paper by the authors, to solve some types of direct singular Sturm-Liouville problems. Next, a concrete implementation to the inverse Sturm-Liouville problem algorithm proposed by Barcilon (1974) is provided. Furthermore, computational feasibility and applicability of this algorithm to solve inverse Sturm-Liouville problems of higher order (for n=2,4) are verified successfully. It is observed that the method is successful even in the presence of significant noise, provided that the assumptions of the algorithm are satisfied. In conclusion, this work provides a method that can be adapted successfully for solving a direct (regular/singular) or inverse Sturm-Liouville problem (SLP) of an arbitrary order with arbitrary boundary conditions.

It is shown that the method has ability to solve direct regular (and some singular) SLPs of even orders (tested for up to eight), with a mix of (including non-separable and finite singular endpoints) boundary conditions, accurately and efficiently. The present technique is successfully applied to overcome the difficulties in finding suitable sets of eigenvalues so that the inverse SLP problem can be effectively solved. The inverse SLP algorithm proposed by Barcilon (1974) is utilized in combination with the Magnus method so that a direct SLP of any (even) order and an inverse SLP of order two can be solved effectively.

N2 - Die Lie-Gruppen-Methode in Kombination mit der Magnus-Expansion wird verwendet, um eine universelle Methode zu entwickeln, die zur Lösung eines Sturm-Liouville-Problems (SLP) beliebiger Ordnung mit beliebigen Randbedingungen anwendbar ist. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Methode in der Lage ist, direkte reguläre und einige singuläre SLPs gerader Ordnung (getestet bis zur 8. Ordnung) mit einer Mischung von Randbedingungen (einschließlich nicht trennbarer und endlicher singulärer Endpunkte) genau und effizient zu lösen. Die vorliegende Technik wird erfolgreich angewendet, um die Schwierigkeiten beim Finden geeigneter Sätze von Eigenwerten zu überwinden, so dass das inverse SLP-Problem effektiv gelöst werden kann. Als nächstes wird eine konkrete Implementierung des von Barcilon (1974) vorgeschlagenen inversen Sturm-Liouville-Problemalgorithmus bereitgestellt. Weiterhin wird die rechnerische Durchführbarkeit und Anwendbarkeit dieses Algorithmus zur Lösung inverser Sturm-Liouville-Probleme der Ordnung n=2,4 erfolgreich verifiziert. Es wird beobachtet, dass das Verfahren selbst bei Vorhandensein von signifikantem Rauschen erfolgreich ist, vorausgesetzt, dass die Annahmen des Algorithmus erfüllt sind. Zusammenfassend stellt diese Arbeit Methoden zur Verfügung, die erfolgreich zur Lösung eines direkten (regulär/singulären) oder inversen SLP beliebiger Ordnung mit beliebigen Randbedingungen angepasst werden können.
