Accurate estimations of Any Eigenpairs of N-th Order Linear Boundary Value Problems

Abstract

[EN] This paper provides a method to bound and calculate any eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of n-th order boundary value problems with sign-regular kernels subject to two-point boundary conditions. The method is based on the selection of a particular type of cone for each eigenpair to be determined, the recursive application of the operator associated to the equivalent integral problem to functions belonging to such a cone, and the calculation of the Collatz-Wielandt numbers of the resulting functions.
