Multiplicities of eigenvalues of a vector-valued Sturm-Liouville problem
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2010
Abstract
This paper concerns the spectrum of the r-dimensional Sturm–Liouville equation y″ + (λI − Q(x))y = 0 with the Dirichlet boundary conditions, where Q is an r × r symmetric matrix. It is proved that, under certain conditions on Q, this problem can only have a finite number of eigenvalues with multiplity r. Further discussion is given for the multiplicities of eigenvalues when Q is an r × r Jacobian matrix.
