 Sturm-Liouville theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The resulting theory of the existence and asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues, the corresponding qualitative theory of the eigenfunctions and their completeness in a suitable function space became known as Sturm-Liouville theory. In mathematics and its applications, a classical Sturm-Liouville equation, named after Jacques Charles François Sturm (1803-1855) and Joseph Liouville (1809-1882), is a real second-order linear differential equation of the form This theory is important in applied mathematics, where S-L problems occur very commonly, particularly when dealing with linear partial differential equations which are separable. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sturm-Liouville_theory   (1345 words)

 ipedia.com: Mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics Article Prior to the emergence of quantum mechanics as a separate theory, the mathematics used in physics consisted mainly of differential geometry and partial differential equations and to a lesser extent, probability theory. During the first 10 to 15 years after the emergence of quantum theory (up to about 1925) physicists continued to think of quantum theory within the confines of what is now called classical physics, and in particular within the same mathematical structures. Fortunately, there is a general mathematical theory of such irreversible operations (see quantum operation) and various physical interpretations of the mathematics. www.ipedia.com /mathematical_formulation_of_quantum_mechanics.html   (1145 words)

 Talk:Sturm-Liouville theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The introduction to the theory presented here is of little meaning unless boundary conditions are introduced and this should be done at the outset, in the preamble. I think it's a good idea to have a multiple variable example of a S-L problem, and the wave equation is fine with me, but I think the wave operator (what do physicists call it?) and the S-L connection should be made explicit. I've just rewritten the opening paragraph here to conform with existing definitions and terminology. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Talk:Sturm-Liouville_theory   (392 words)

 History of Operator Theory The earliest significant appearance of eigenvalues in connection with differential equations was in the theory developed by Charles François Sturm in 1836 and Joseph Liouville in 1838. Sturm-Liouville theory was the beginning of what we now refer to as the spectral theory of ordinary differential operators. In the first textbook on operator theory, Théorie des Opérations Linéaires, published in Warsaw 1932, Stefan Banach states that the subject of the book is the study of functions on spaces of infinite dimension, especially those he coyly refers to as spaces of type B, otherwise Banach spaces (definition). www.mathphysics.com /opthy/OpHistory.html   (2635 words)

 Syllabus -- Applied Mathematics 2, Spring 2000 The Sturm-Liouville theory includes all the special cases of eigenfunctions/eigenvalues that we studied last term, and explains, in a sense, why it is always possible to find a collection of eigenfunctions satisfying orthogonality relations for suitable boundary value problems. We will begin with a general theory of eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of boundary value problems for 2nd order ODE, developed first by the mathematicians Sturm and Liouville in the 19th century. Next, we will consider two applications of the Sturm-Liouville theory -- the circular drumhead, where the normal modes of vibration involve a new family of eigenfunctions you have not seen before (called the Bessel functions) and non-homogenous problems where eigenfunction expansions are useful to find solutions and understand their properties. math.holycross.edu /~little/Applied9900/AM200Syl.html   (744 words)

 MTH-3A36 : Transform Theory Sturm and Liouville made some progress in demonstrating the completeness of such sequences, and ad hoc proofs for particular cases can be constructed. The broadly unifying theme of the material covered is the theory of integral transforms such as Laplace and Fourier transforms. Such techniques are particularly suitable for the inversion integrals arising from transform theory. www.mth.uea.ac.uk /maths/syllabuses/9900/3A3600.html   (526 words)

 QM and Sturm Liouville Theory - Physics Help and Math Help - Physics Forums Sturm and Liouville in the nineteenth century introduced the technology of linear algebra into the theory of differential equations and showed the importance of eigenvalues to the solutions. i was curious if understanding of this Sturm and Liouville theory is pertinent to the understanding of QM and what essence would one miss if one does not know this this... in Sturm and Liouville theory is also very important. www.physicsforums.com /showthread.php?t=87078   (239 words)

 02-40 In this paper, we use the Sturm-Liouville theory to compute Green functions within a rigorous mathematical theory. The Sturm-Liouville theory deals directly with complex energies in a way that keep track of the in'' and out'' boundary conditions. We shall show that both the Sturm-Liouville theory and the formal treatment yield the same Green functions. www.ma.utexas.edu /mp_arc/papers/02-40   (1265 words)

 syllabus - Sturm-Liouville theory shows that there's a more general class of eigenvalue ODE problems whose solutions can be used, just like before, to build infinite sums which will approximate "any" other function f(x) that satisfies the boundary conditions that correspond to that particular problem. - Applications of Sturm-Liouville theory are exactly the same as for Fourier theory: in particular, we use it to find the coefficients needed in our "step 3" (see above) for solving the heat equation via the separation of variables method. In theory however it is always possible to solve it, in exactly the same way as usual, using the usual orthogonality argument. www.math.gatech.edu /~pacini/4581/4581_syllabus.html   (2531 words)

 The Classical Free-Reed, Inc. -- Alternative Tuning Systems and Free-Reeds I was first introduced to the concept of "vibrational nonuniformity" in the context of a nonuniform string being used as a motivating example in Sturm-Liouville Theory that, while not in every textbook, it does appear in a good number on the subject. Sadly though it seems few physics departments ever mention acoustics and the applications students will make of Sturm-Liouville theory will usually be in quantum mechanics and electro dynamics since acoustics is only occasionally taught in physics departments, or mechanical engineering and sometimes in electrical engineering... This would be done with hopes of finding "desirable" nonharmonic timbres of which scales and tuning systems could then be based on. www.ksanti.net /free-reed/essays/ats_free-reed.html   (640 words)
