Bernstein collocation technique for a class of Sturm-Liouville problems.

Sturm-Liouville problems have yielded the biggest achievement in the spectral theory of ordinary differential operators. Sturm-Liouville boundary value issues appear in many key applications in natural sciences. All the eigenvalues for the standard Sturm-Liouville problem are guaranteed to be real and simple, and the related eigenfunctions form a basis in a suitable Hilbert space.

Orthonormal Bernstein Galerkin technique for computations of higher order eigenvalue problems.

The numerical approximation of eigenvalues of higher even order boundary value problems has sparked a lot of interest in recent years. However, it is always difficult to deal with higher-order BVPs because of the presence of boundary conditions. The objective of this work is to investigate a few higher order eigenvalue (Rayleigh numbers) problems utilizing the method of Galerkin weighted residual (MWR) and the effect of solution due to direct implementation of polynomial bases.
