Abstract:
In this study, even order self-adjoint differential equations incorporating
recently introduced proportional derivatives, and their associated
self-adjoint boundary conditions, are discussed. Using quasi derivatives,
a Lagrange bracket and bilinear functional are used to obtain a Lagrange
identity and Green's formula; this also leads to the classification of
self-adjoint boundary conditions. Next we connect the self-adjoint
differential equations with the theory of Hamiltonian systems and
(n,n)-disconjugacy. Specific formulas of Green's functions for two
and four iterated proportional derivatives are also derived.
