On perturbation theory for the Sturm-Liouville problem, Part II

General Physics 2018-05-31 v5

Abstract

I study some possibilities of analytically solving a particular Sturm-Liouville problem with step-wise (piece-constant) coefficients with help of an iterative procedure mentioned in my previous paper (Green's function sum rules). I construct short, simple, but very accurate analytical formulae for calculating the ground state eigenvalue and eigenfunction as well as for calculating the first eigenfunction. I study numerical precision of the obtained approximations together with the perturbation theory results.
