Abstract

This paper discusses the eigenvalue problem of second-order Sturm-Liouville equation. We transform the governing differential equation to the Fredholm-Volterra integral equation with appropriate end supports. By expanding the unknown function into the shifted Chebyshev polynomials, we directly get the corresponding polynomial characteristic equations, where the lower and higher-order eigenvalues can be determined simultaneously from the multi-roots. Several examples of estimating eigenvalues are given. By comparison with the exact results in open literatures, the correctness and effectiveness of the present approach are verified.
