A Matching technique and structure theorems for sturm-liouville boundary value problems with interior singularities


Thomas M. Acho

Abstract

Asymptotic solutions for the interior double pole
Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem are obtained
using a method of matched asymptotic approximations. Employing asymptotic forms
of the Whittaker functions, the WKB approximations and Airy functions,
solutions are obtained valid and non-vanishing on the whole interval. Eigenvalue and eigenfunction
theorems are then presented for a generalized parameter-dependent Sturm-Liouville eigenproblem.
