Surashmi Bhattacharyya, Arun Kumar Baruah . On Rayleigh-Ritz Method in Three-Parameter Eigenvalue Problems. International Journal of Computer Applications. 86, 3 ( January 2014), 38-42. DOI=10.5120/14969-3149
This paper deals with the computation of the eigenvalues of a three-parameter Sturm-Liouville problem in the form of ordinary differential equation using Rayleigh-Ritz Method, a method which is based on the principle of variational methods. This method has been effective in computing the eigenvalues of self-adjoint problems. The resulting equations obtained in applying Rayleigh-Ritz method on the problem are solved to find the rough estimates of the eigenvalues of the problem. Rough estimates are used as starting approximations in the corresponding shooting method to obtain their actual values.
