Transmutations and spectral parameter power series in eigenvalue problems

We give an overview of recent developments in Sturm-Liouville theory concerning operators of transmutation (transformation) and spectral parameter power series (SPPS). The possibility to write down the dispersion (characteristic) equations corresponding to a variety of spectral problems related to Sturm-Liouville equations in an analytic form is an attractive feature of the SPPS method. It is based on a computation of certain systems of recursive integrals. Considered as families of functions these systems are complete in the $L_{2}$-space and result to be the images of the nonnegative integer powers of the independent variable under the action of a corresponding transmutation operator. This recently revealed property of the Delsarte transmutations opens the way to apply the transmutation operator even when its integral kernel is unknown and gives the possibility to obtain further interesting properties concerning the Darboux transformed Schr\"{o}dinger operators. We introduce the systems of recursive integrals and the SPPS approach, explain some of its applications to spectral problems with numerical illustrations, give the definition and basic properties of transmutation operators, introduce a parametrized family of transmutation operators, study their mapping properties and construct the transmutation operators for Darboux transformed Schr\"{o}dinger operators.Comment: 30 pages, 4 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1111.444

Some recent developments in the transmutation operator approach

This is a brief overviewof some recent developments in the transmutation operator approach to practical solution of mathematical physics problems. It introduces basic notions and results of transmutation theory, and gives a brief historical survey with some important references. Mainly applications to linear ordinary and partial differential equations and to related boundary value and spectral problems are discusse

The Static Maxwell System in Three Dimensional Axially Symmetric Inhomogeneous Media and Axially Symmetric Generalization of the Cauchy–Riemann System

In this paper we discuss different generalizations of the Cauchy–Riemann system and their connection with the static Maxwell system. In particular, this allows us to present relations between slice-monogenic functions and hypermonogenic functions, as well as to provide a physical interpretation of slice-monogenic functions. Furthermore, we present an explicit and complete set of basic solutions of a new class of axial-hypermonogenic functions in R^3. In the end we determine the symmetry operators for the class of axial-hypermonogenic functions
