Usmani and Manabu Sakai, “Two new finite difference methods for computing eigenvalues of a fourth order linear boundary value problem,” International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, vol. 10, no. 3, pp. 525-529, 1987. doi:10.1155/S0161171287000620http://hdl.handle.net/1993/23795This paper describes some new finite difference methods of order 2 and 4 for computing eigenvalues of a two-point boundary value problem associated with a fourth order differential equation of the form (py″)′​′+(q−λr)y=0. Numerical results for two typical eigenvalue problems are tabulated to demonstrate practical usefulness of our methods.Journal ArticleenCopyright © 1987 Hindawi Publishing Corporation.
