Synopsis

Sturm-Liouville problems (SLPs)--an applied mathematics tool developed in the nineteenth century and a driving force of pure mathematics in the early twentieth century--became of vital interest to physicists with the advent of Schrodinger's equations. Today's fascinating variety of SL-related computations reflects this diverse historical background. This book was written for scientists and engineers who desire an introduction to simple SLPs, their limitations, the algorithms that overcome these limitations, and available software. Numerical analysts seeking a reference on good SLP methods, theory, implementation, and performance will also want to own a copy of this book. Treatments of the underlying mathematical theories and numerous helpful problems round out this superb new volume.

Review

"This monograph covers the analytical and numerical aspects of Sturm-Liouville problems/ It is clearly written, up-to-date, and suitable as a text for a graduate mathematics course or as a reference for scientists and engineers." --Mathematical Reviews

"The book is essential reading for those developing methods for numerical solution of SLP's and is also useful for those writing other numerical software. . .well written and is a worthy addition to the famous OUP Monographs on Numerical Analysis series." --SIAM Review
