- ItemOSCILLATION OF SOLUTIONS OF LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2009) Chuaqui, Martin; Duren, Peter; Osgood, Brad; Stowe, DennisIn this note we study the zeros of solutions of differential equations of the form u '' + pu = 0. A criterion for oscillation is found, and some sharper forms of the Sturm comparison theorem are given.
- ItemValence and oscillation of functions in the unit disk(SUOMALAINEN TIEDEAKATEMIA, 2008) Chuaqui, Martin; Stowe, DennisWe investigate the number of times that nontrivial solutions of equations u '' + p(z)u = 0 in the unit disk can vanish-or, equivalently, the number of times that solutions of S(f) = 2p(z) can attain their values-given a restriction vertical bar p(z)vertical bar < b(vertical bar z vertical bar). We establish a bound for that number when b satisfies a Nehari-type condition, identify perturbations of the condition that, allow the number to be infinite, and compare those results with their analogs for real equations phi '' + q(t)phi = 0 in (-1, 1).
