Chapter 2 Problem 2.8.10

Question

Prove that the eigenvalue problem y" + AY = 0; yeO) = 0, y(l) + y'(l) = 0 has no negative eigenvalues. (Suggestion: Show graphically that the only root of the equation tanh z = -z is z = 0.)

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 2 problem number 10 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Prove that the eigenvalue problem y" + AY = 0; yeO) = 0, y(l) + y'(l) = 0 has no negative eigenvalues. (Suggestion: Show graphically that the only root of the equation tanh z = -z is z = 0.)
From the textbook chapter Linear Equations of Higher Order you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
