Convergent Disfocality and Nondisfocality Criteria for Second-Order Linear Differential Equations

Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2013, vol. 2013, 1-11

Abstract:

This paper presents a method to determine whether the second-order linear differential equation is either disfocal or nondisfocal in a fixed interval. The method is based on the recursive application of a linear operator to certain functions and yields upper and lower bounds for the distances between a zero and its adjacent critical points, which will be shown to converge to the exact values of such distances as the recursivity index grows.
