| It is well known that the research of eigenvalues of spectral problems,whether in theory and in application,are of great importance.In this paper,we introduce the eigenvalues of regular spectral problems with self-adjoint boundary conditions.Firstly,we investigate the eigenvalues of a regular fourth-order spectral problem with self-adjoint boundary conditions.The continuous dependence on the problem of eigenvalues and normalized eigenfunctions is researched.The derivative formulas of eigenvalues with respect to a given parameter: an endpoint,a boundary condition,a coefficient or the weight function are obtained,which are both theoretical and computational significance.As a consequence of differentiability results,we have the monotone properties of eigenvalues with respect to the coefficients and the weight function.Then we study a regular 2nth-order spectral problem with self-adjoint boundary conditions.Eigenvalues and normalized eigenfunctions depend continuously on the problem is proved.The eigenvalues are differentiable and the derivative formulas of eigenvalues with respect to a given parameter: an endpoint,a boundary condition,a coefficient or the weight function,are found.This paper contains three chapters.The first chapter: an introduction.The second chapter: dependence of eigenvalues of fourth-order spectral problems.The third chapter:dependence of eigenvalues of 2nth-order spectral problems. |
