On the Fundamental Eigenvalues gap of Sturm-Liouville Operators

Spectral Theory 2024-07-04 v2

Abstract

We use methods of direct optimization as in [9] to find the minimizers of the fundamental gap of Sturm-Liouville operators on an interval, under the constraint that the potential is of single-well form and that the weight function is of single-barrier form, and under similar constraints expressed in terms of convexity.
