Dependence of Eigenvalues of a Class of Higher-Order Sturm-Liouville Problems on the Boundary

We show that the eigenvalues of a class of higher-order Sturm-Liouville problems depend not only continuously but also smoothly on boundary points and that the derivative of the nth eigenvalue as a function of an endpoint satisfies a first order differential equation. In addition, we prove that as t...
