A variational formalism for the eigenvalues of fourth order boundary value problems

This paper describes a variational approach for computing eigenvalues of a two point boundary value problem associated with coupled second order equations to which a fourth order linear differential equation is reduced. An attractive feature of this approach is the technique of enforcing the boundar...
