Abstract:
In this paper we present a study on the analogous properties
of discrete and continuous Sturm-Liouville problems arising in
matrix analysis and differential equations, respectively. Green's
functions in both cases have analogous expressions in terms of the
spectral data. Most of the results associated to inverse problems
in both cases are identical. In particular, in both cases Weyl's
m-function determines the Sturm-Liouville operators
uniquely. Moreover, the well known Rayleigh-Ritz Theorem in
linear algebra can be proved by using the concept of Green's
function in discrete case.
