M. Brown et al., CONVERGENCE OF REGULAR APPROXIMATIONS TO THE SPECTRA OF SINGULAR 4TH-ORDER STURM-LIOUVILLE PROBLEMS, Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Section A. Mathematics, 128, 1998, pp. 907-944
We prove some new results which justify the use of interval truncation
as a means of regularising a singular fourth-order Sturm-Liouville pr
oblem near a singular endpoint. Of particular interest are the results
in the so-called lim-3 case, which has no analogue in second-order si
ngular problems.
