1 Introduction

In this study, we deal with the following equation:

(1) y ( t ) + [ λ q ( t ) ] y ( t ) = 0 , t [ 0 , a ] ,

where λ is a real parameter and q ( t ) is a real-valued, continuous function. This equation is known as the regular Sturm-Liouville equation. We consider the equation with the following boundary value conditions:

(2) a 1 y ( 0 ) a 2 y ( 0 ) = λ [ a 1 y ( 0 ) a 2 y ( 0 ) ]

and

(3) y ( a ) cos β + y ( a ) sin β = 0 ,

where a 1 , a 2 , a 1 , and a 2 are real constants and β [ 0 , π ) . Equations (1)–(3) is different from the usual regular Sturm-Liouville problem because the eigenvalue parameter λ is held in the boundary condition at zero. Such problems often arise from physical problems, quantum mechanics, and geophysics. Fulton gives more than a hundred references in [1] and [2] (see also [3]), so his works serve as a historical guide. It is also shown by Walter [4] that this problem is a self-adjoint problem if the relation

(4) δ = a 1 a 1 a 2 a 2 > 0

holds. There are a lot of studies with Sturm-Liouville problems where the spectral parameter appears in the boundary conditions, see, e.g., [512].

Besides, equation (1) is equal to one-dimensional Schrödinger equation, and especially in recent years, since quantum mechanics has gained importance, there have been a lot of studies on the eigenvalues of Hill’s equation and Schrödinger’ s operator with symmetric single-well potential, such as anharmonic oscillator. The eigenvalues of these equations represent excitation energy, and eigenfunctions are named as wavefunctions in physics. A symmetric single-well potential on [ 0 , a ] is defined as symmetric with respect to the midpoint a 2 and nonincreasing on [ 0 , a 2 ] . The eigenvalue problems with symmetric single-well potential can be found in [1318].

The purpose of this article is to obtain asymptotic approximations for eigenvalues λ n of equations (1)–(3) with symmetric single-well potential q ( t ) such that condition (4) is satisfied. We remark that a symmetric single-well potential on [ 0 , a ] means that a continuous function q ( t ) is symmetric on [ 0 , a ] and nonincreasing on [ 0 , a 2 ] , so we have q ( t ) = q ( a t ) mathematically. We assume, without loss of generality, that q ( t ) has a mean value of zero.

2 The method

First, we note that q ( t ) exists since a monotone function on an interval I is differentiable almost everywhere on I [19]. After then, let us consider the following lemma:

Lemma 2.1

The eigenvalues λ n of equations (1)–(3) satisfy as λ

(i) a 2 0 and β 0

( n + 1 ) π = 0 a [ r 2 ( t , λ ) + ρ 2 ( t , λ ) ] d t tan 1 a 1 a 2 [ r 1 ( 0 , λ ) + ρ 1 ( 0 , λ ) ] λ [ a 1 a 2 ( r 1 ( 0 , λ ) + ρ 1 ( 0 , λ ) ) ] ( a 2 λ a 2 ) [ r 2 ( 0 , λ ) + ρ 2 ( 0 , λ ) ] tan 1 cos β + [ r 1 ( a , λ ) + ρ 1 ( a , λ ) ] sin β sin β [ r 2 ( a , λ ) + ρ 2 ( a , λ ) ] + O ( λ 3 2 ) ,

(ii) a 2 0 and β = 0

( 2 n + 3 ) π 2 = 0 a [ r 2 ( t , λ ) + ρ 2 ( t , λ ) ] d t tan 1 a 1 a 2 [ r 1 ( 0 , λ ) + ρ 1 ( 0 , λ ) ] λ [ a 1 a 2 ( r 1 ( 0 , λ ) + ρ 1 ( 0 , λ ) ) ] ( a 2 λ a 2 ) [ r 2 ( 0 , λ ) + ρ 2 ( 0 , λ ) ] + O ( λ 3 2 ) ,

where r 1 ( t , λ ) + ρ 1 ( t , λ ) and r 2 ( t , λ ) + ρ 2 ( t , λ ) are defined as follows:

(5) r 1 ( t , λ ) + ρ 1 ( t , λ ) = 1 2 λ 1 2 0 t q ( x ) sin 2 λ 1 2 ( t x ) d x 1 2 λ 1 0 t q ( x ) x t q ( s ) d s cos 2 λ 1 2 ( t x ) d x + 1 4 λ 1 0 t q 2 ( x ) cos 2 λ 1 2 ( t x ) d x + O ( λ 3 2 ) ,

and

(6) r 2 ( t , λ ) + ρ 2 ( t , λ ) = λ 1 2 1 2 λ 1 2 q ( t ) + 1 2 λ 1 2 0 t q ( x ) cos 2 λ 1 2 ( t x ) d x + 1 2 λ 1 0 t q ( x ) x t q ( s ) d s sin 2 λ 1 2 ( t x ) d x 1 4 λ 1 0 t q 2 ( x ) sin 2 λ 1 2 ( t x ) d x + O ( λ 3 2 ) .

Lemma 2.2

The eigenvalues λ n of equations (1)–(3) satisfy as λ

(i) a 2 = 0 and β 0

( n + 1 ) π = 0 a [ r 2 ( t , λ ) + ρ 2 ( t , λ ) ] d t cot 1 a 2 [ r 2 ( 0 , λ ) + ρ 2 ( 0 , λ ) ] a 1 a 2 [ r 1 ( 0 , λ ) + ρ 1 ( 0 , λ ) ] λ a 1 tan 1 cos β + [ r 1 ( a , λ ) + ρ 1 ( a , λ ) ] sin β sin β [ r 2 ( a , λ ) + ρ 2 ( a , λ ) ] + O ( λ 3 2 ) ,

(ii) a 2 = 0 and β = 0

( 2 n + 3 ) π 2 = 0 a [ r 2 ( t , λ ) + ρ 2 ( t , λ ) ] d t cot 1 a 2 [ r 2 ( 0 , λ ) + ρ 2 ( 0 , λ ) ] a 1 a 2 [ r 1 ( 0 , λ ) + ρ 1 ( 0 , λ ) ] λ a 1 + O ( λ 3 2 ) .

Proof

If we rearrange the main theorems of [6] in line with our aim for N = 2 , we prove the lemmas, easily.□

Lemmas 2.1 and 2.2 are important in literature, because they give good approximations of the asymptotic estimates of the eigenvalues with the continuous potential such that its derivative exists and is integrable. We note that our method is based on Lemmas 2.1 and 2.2.

3 Main results

In this article, we obtain the following asymptotic approximations for eigenvalues λ n of equations (1)–(3) with symmetric single-well potential q ( t ) by using Lemmas 2.1 and 2.2:

Theorem 3.1

Let q ( t ) be symmetric in equation (1). Then, the eigenvalues λ n of (1)–(3) satisfy as n

(i) a 2 0 and β 0

λ n 1 2 = ( n + 1 ) π a + 1 ( n + 1 ) π a 1 a 2 + cot β a 2 ( n + 1 ) 2 π 2 0 a 2 q ( x ) sin 2 ( n + 1 ) π a x d x + O ( n 3 ) ,

(ii) a 2 0 and β = 0

λ n 1 2 = ( 2 n + 3 ) π 2 a + 2 ( 2 n + 3 ) π a 1 a 2 + O ( n 3 ) ,

(iii) a 2 = 0 and β 0

λ n 1 2 = ( 2 n + 3 ) π 2 a + 2 ( 2 n + 3 ) π a 2 a 1 + cot β + 2 a ( 2 n + 3 ) 2 π 2 0 a 2 q ( x ) sin ( 2 n + 3 ) π a x d x + O ( n 3 ) ,

(iv) a 2 = 0 and β = 0

λ n 1 2 = ( n + 2 ) π a + 1 ( n + 2 ) π a 2 a 1 + a 2 ( n + 2 ) 2 π 2 0 a 2 q ( x ) sin 2 ( n + 2 ) π a x d x + O ( n 3 ) .

Proof

(i) We calculate the terms in Lemmas 2.1(i). First, from equations (5) and (6), we find that

r 1 ( 0 , λ ) + ρ 1 ( 0 , λ ) = O ( λ 3 2 ) ,

r 2 ( 0 , λ ) + ρ 2 ( 0 , λ ) = λ 1 2 1 2 λ 1 2 q ( 0 ) + O ( λ 3 2 ) ,

r 1 ( a , λ ) + ρ 1 ( a , λ ) = 1 2 λ 1 2 0 a q ( x ) sin 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) d x 1 2 λ 1 0 a q ( x ) x a q ( s ) d s cos 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) d x + 1 4 λ 1 0 a q 2 ( x ) cos 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) d x + O ( λ 3 2 ) ,

and

r 2 ( a , λ ) + ρ 2 ( a , λ ) = λ 1 2 1 2 λ 1 2 q ( a ) + 1 2 λ 1 2 0 a q ( x ) cos 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) d x + 1 2 λ 1 0 a q ( x ) x a q ( s ) d s sin 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) d x 1 4 λ 1 0 a q 2 ( x ) sin 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) d x + O ( λ 3 2 ) .

Therefore, if we define

(7) Ω a 1 λ a 1 + O ( λ 1 2 ) λ 3 2 a 2 + λ 1 2 a 2 + 1 2 λ 1 2 a 2 q ( 0 ) 1 2 λ 1 2 a 2 q ( 0 ) + O ( λ 1 2 )

and

(8) η cos β + sin β 1 2 λ 1 2 A 2 1 2 λ 1 B 1 + 1 4 λ 1 C 1 + O ( λ 3 2 ) sin β λ 1 2 1 2 λ 1 2 q ( a ) + 1 2 λ 1 2 A 1 + 1 2 λ 1 B 2 1 4 λ 1 C 2 + O ( λ 3 2 ) ,

where

(9) A 1 0 a q ( x ) cos ( 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) ) d x ,

A 2 0 a q ( x ) sin ( 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) ) d x ,

B 1 0 a q ( x ) x a q ( s ) d s cos ( 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) ) d x ,

B 2 0 a q ( x ) x a q ( s ) d s sin ( 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) ) d x ,

C 1 0 a q 2 ( x ) cos ( 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) ) d x ,

C 2 0 a q 2 ( x ) sin ( 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) ) d x ,

we can rearrange Lemmas 2.1(i) as follows:

(10) ( n + 1 ) π = 0 a [ r 2 ( t , λ ) + ρ 2 ( t , λ ) ] d t tan 1 ( Ω ) tan 1 ( η ) + O ( λ 3 2 ) .

We will calculate the asymptotic eigenvalues from the last equation. By using series expansion for Ω , we obtain

Ω = λ a 1 + a 1 + O ( λ 1 2 ) λ 3 2 a 2 1 a 2 a 2 λ 1 1 2 λ 1 q ( 0 ) + O ( λ 2 ) = λ 1 2 a 1 a 2 λ 3 2 a 1 a 2 + O ( λ 2 ) 1 + λ 1 a 2 a 2 + 1 2 λ 1 q ( 0 ) + O ( λ 2 ) = λ 1 2 a 1 a 2 + O ( λ 3 2 ) .

From the last equation and inverse tangent expansion tan 1 ( Ω ) = Ω Ω 3 3 + , we find

(11) tan 1 ( Ω ) = λ 1 2 a 1 a 2 + O ( λ 3 2 ) .

Similarly, we derive series expansion for η , and find that

η = cot β + 1 2 λ 1 2 A 2 1 2 λ 1 B 1 + 1 4 λ 1 C 1 + O ( λ 3 2 ) λ 1 2 1 1 2 λ 1 q ( a ) + 1 2 λ 1 A 1 + 1 2 λ 3 2 B 2 1 4 λ 3 2 C 2 + O ( λ 2 ) = λ 1 2 cot β + 1 2 λ 1 A 2 1 2 λ 3 2 B 1 + 1 4 λ 3 2 C 1 + O ( λ 2 ) × 1 + 1 2 λ 1 q ( a ) 1 2 λ 1 A 1 1 2 λ 3 2 B 2 + 1 4 λ 3 2 C 2 + O ( λ 2 ) = λ 1 2 cot β + 1 2 λ 1 A 2 + O ( λ 3 2 ) .

From the last equality, equation (9), and inverse tangent expansion, we obtain that

tan 1 ( η ) = λ 1 2 cot β + 1 2 λ 1 0 a q ( x ) sin 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) d x + O ( λ 3 2 ) .

We study with symmetric single-well potential q ( t ) . In this case, we have

a 2 a q ( x ) sin 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) d x = a 2 0 q ( a u ) sin 2 λ 1 2 u d u = a 2 0 q ( u ) sin 2 λ 1 2 u d u .

The last equality holds because q ( t ) is symmetric and q ( t ) exists, so q ( t ) = q ( a t ) . Then,

0 a q ( x ) sin 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) d x = 0 a 2 q ( x ) sin 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) d x + a 2 a q ( x ) sin 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) d x = 0 a 2 q ( x ) sin 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) d x 0 a 2 q ( x ) sin 2 λ 1 2 x d x = sin 2 λ 1 2 a 0 a 2 q ( x ) cos 2 λ 1 2 x d x cos 2 λ 1 2 a 0 a 2 q ( x ) sin 2 λ 1 2 x d x 0 a 2 q ( x ) sin 2 λ 1 2 x d x

so

(12) 0 a q ( x ) sin 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) d x = sin 2 λ 1 2 a 0 a 2 q ( x ) cos 2 λ 1 2 x d x [ 1 + cos 2 λ 1 2 a ] 0 a 2 q ( x ) sin 2 λ 1 2 x d x .

If we use the last equation in tan 1 ( η ) , we see that

(13) tan 1 ( η ) = λ 1 2 cot β + 1 2 λ 1 sin 2 λ 1 2 a 0 a 2 q ( x ) cos 2 λ 1 2 x d x 1 2 λ 1 [ 1 + cos 2 λ 1 2 a ] 0 a 2 q ( x ) sin 2 λ 1 2 x d x .

Now, we should compute 0 a [ r 2 ( t , λ ) + ρ 2 ( t , λ ) ] d t to calculate equation (10). From equation (6), we have

(14) 0 a [ r 2 ( t , λ ) + ρ 2 ( t , λ ) ] d t = λ 1 2 0 a 1 d t 1 2 λ 1 2 0 a q ( t ) d t + 1 2 λ 1 2 I 1 + 1 2 λ 1 I 2 1 4 λ 1 I 3 + O ( λ 3 2 ) ,

where

I 1 0 a 0 t q ( x ) cos 2 λ 1 2 ( t x ) d x d t , I 2 0 a 0 t q ( x ) x t q ( s ) d s sin 2 λ 1 2 ( t x ) d x d t ,

and

I 3 0 a 0 t q 2 ( x ) sin 2 λ 1 2 ( t x ) d x d t .

The second term on the right side of equation (14) is zero, because q ( t ) has a mean value of zero. Now, we apply Leibniz formula for integrals I 1 , I 2 , and I 3 as follows:

(15) I 1 = 1 2 λ 1 2 0 t q ( x ) sin 2 λ 1 2 ( t x ) d x t = 0 a = 1 2 λ 1 2 0 a q ( x ) sin 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) d x ,

(16) I 2 = 1 2 λ 1 2 0 t q ( x ) x t q ( s ) d s cos 2 λ 1 2 ( t x ) d x t = 0 a + 1 2 λ 1 2 0 t q ( t ) q ( x ) cos 2 λ 1 2 ( t x ) d x t = 0 a = 1 2 λ 1 2 0 a q ( x ) x a q ( s ) d s cos 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) d x + 1 2 λ 1 2 q ( a ) 0 a q ( x ) cos 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) d x ,

and

(17) I 3 = 1 2 λ 1 2 0 t q 2 ( x ) cos 2 λ 1 2 ( t x ) d x t = 0 a + 1 2 λ 1 2 q 2 ( t ) t = 0 a = 1 2 λ 1 2 0 a q 2 ( x ) cos 2 λ 1 2 ( a x ) d x .

The last equality holds because q ( t ) = q ( a t ) . Therefore, the fourth and fifth terms on the right side of (14) obtain into error term O ( λ 3 2 ) because of equations (16) and (17). So by using equations (12) and (15), we rewrite equation (14) as follows:

(18) 0 a [ r 2 ( t , λ ) + ρ 2 ( t , λ ) ] d t = λ 1 2 a + 1 4 λ 1 sin 2 λ 1 2 a 0 a 2 q ( x ) cos 2 λ 1 2 x d x 1 4 λ 1 [ 1 + cos 2 λ 1 2 a ] 0 a 2 q ( x ) sin 2 λ 1 2 x d x + O ( λ 3 2 ) .

Finally, substituting equations (11), (13), and (18) into equation (10) and using reversion, we prove the theorem.

(ii) Similar to (i), we can arrange Lemmas 2.1(ii) as follows:

( 2 n + 3 ) π 2 = 0 a [ r 2 ( t , λ ) + ρ 2 ( t , λ ) ] d t tan 1 ( Ω ) + O ( λ 3 2 ) ,

where Ω is defined by equation (7). Theorem 3.1(ii) follows from the substitution of equations (11) and (18) into the last equation and using reversion.

(iii) We can reformulate Lemmas 2.2(i) as follows:

(19) ( n + 1 ) π = 0 a [ r 2 ( t , λ ) + ρ 2 ( t , λ ) ] d t cot 1 ( δ ) tan 1 ( η ) + O ( λ 3 2 ) ,

where η is defined by equation (8) and δ is defined by

(20) δ λ 1 2 a 2 1 2 λ 1 2 a 2 q ( 0 ) + O ( λ 3 2 ) a 1 λ a 1 + O ( λ 3 2 ) .

By using series expansion to δ , we obtain

δ = λ 1 2 a 2 1 2 λ 1 2 a 2 q ( 0 ) + O ( λ 3 2 ) λ a 1 1 λ 1 a 1 a 1 + O ( λ 5 2 ) = λ 1 2 a 2 a 1 + 1 2 λ 3 2 a 2 a 1 q ( 0 ) + O ( λ 5 2 ) × 1 + λ 1 a 1 a 1 + λ 2 a 1 2 ( a 1 ) 2 + O ( λ 5 2 ) = λ 1 2 a 2 a 1 + O ( λ 3 2 ) .

From the last equation and inverse cotangent expansion cot 1 ( δ ) = π 2 δ + δ 3 3 + , we write that

(21) cot 1 ( δ ) = π 2 + λ 1 2 a 2 a 1 + O ( λ 3 2 ) .

Substituting equations (13), (18), and (21) into equation (19), we prove the theorem.

(iv) We can reformulate Lemmas 2.2(ii) as follows:

( 2 n + 3 ) π 2 = 0 a [ r 2 ( t , λ ) + ρ 2 ( t , λ ) ] d t cot 1 ( δ ) + O ( λ 3 2 ) ,

where δ is defined by equation (20). Theorem 3.1(iv) follows from substitution of equations (18) and (21) into the last equation and using reversion.□

Example 1

Let us consider the following equation. This eigenvalue equation is named as anharmonic oscillator in physics:

y ( t ) + [ λ q ( t ) ] y ( t ) = 0 , t [ 0 , π ) ,

where q ( t ) = 1 4 t π 2 4 + 1 2 t π 2 2 . This potential is symmetric single-well. Since we accepted q ( t ) has mean value of zero for the sake of brevity, we should rearrange the anharmonic oscillator potential so that its mean value is zero. Therefore, q ( t ) can be calculated as follows:

q ( t ) = 1 4 t π 2 4 + 1 2 t π 2 2 π 2 24 π 4 320 .

In this case, by calculating the integral terms in Theorem 3.1, we obtain the following as n :

(i) if a 2 0 and β 0

λ n 1 2 = n + 1 + 1 ( n + 1 ) π a 1 a 2 + cot β + π 32 ( n + 1 ) 5 [ ( π 2 + 4 ) n ( n + 2 ) + π 2 2 ] + O ( n 3 ) ,

(ii) if a 2 0 and β = 0

λ n 1 2 = ( 2 n + 3 ) 2 + 2 ( 2 n + 3 ) π a 1 a 2 + O ( n 3 ) ,

(iii) if a 2 = 0 and β 0

λ n 1 2 = ( 2 n + 3 ) 2 + 2 ( 2 n + 3 ) π a 2 a 1 + cot β + 2 8 ( 2 n + 3 ) 6 × { 8 ( 4 n 2 + 12 n + 3 ) ( 1 ) n + 1 π ( 2 n + 3 ) [ 4 ( π 2 + 4 ) n ( n + 3 ) + 9 π 2 + 12 ] } + O ( n 3 ) ,

(iv) if a 2 = 0 and β = 0

λ n 1 2 = n + 2 + 1 ( n + 2 ) π a 2 a 1 π 32 ( n + 2 ) 5 [ ( π 2 + 4 ) n ( n + 4 ) + 4 π 2 + 10 ] + O ( n 3 ) .

Example 2

The Morse potential is a commonly accepted model for the description of a covalent bond like that between hydrogen and oxygen atoms. One can write the Morse potential in a compact form [20]:

q ( t ) = q 0 1 2 ( 1 + A cosh α t ) 2 + B sinh α t .

[20] studies for A > 1 , B = 0 so that the potential is symmetric single-well in this situation. Hence, we can accept the Morse potential on [ 0 , 1 ] as follows:

q ( t ) = 1 2 1 + 2 cosh t 1 2 2 .

Since we accepted that q ( t ) has mean value of zero for the sake of brevity, we should rearrange the Morse potential so that its mean value is zero. Therefore, q ( t ) can be calculated as follows:

q ( t ) = 1 2 1 + 2 cosh t 1 2 2 + e 1 8 e sinh 1 2 e 2 3 e + 1 2 .

For this potential, by calculating the integral terms in Theorem 3.1, the asymptotic eigenvalues of equations (1)–(3) are given easily.

4 Conclusions

The asymptotic approximations for eigenvalues λ n of equations (1)–(3) with symmetric single-well potential q ( t ) are obtained in this work. These approximations for eigenvalues have been obtained with better error terms than previous works in the literature. When we applied the method from the beginning with a symmetric single potential, we obtained our results in Theorem 3.1 with better error terms than the results obtained by substituting the symmetric potential directly in the results in Lemmas 2.1 and 2.2. This is the importance of our results. Also, as a the result of the Theorem 3.1, we can say that, if we study with symmetric single well potential for (1.1)–(1.3), it is enough to observe the half interval instead of the whole interval of the problem. Because our result Theorem 3.1 can present the asymptotic eigenvalues on the half interval.
