In this paper a class of Boundary Value Methods obtained as an extension of the Numerov's method is proposed for the numerical approximation of the eigenvalues of regular Sturm-Liouville problems subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions. It is proved that the error in the so obtained estimate of the kth eigenvalue behaves as O (k^(p + 1) h^(p - 1/2)) + O (k^(p+2) h^p), where p is the order of accuracy of the method and h is the discretization stepsize. Numerical results comparing the performances of the new matrix methods with that of the corrected Numerov's method are also reported.

Abstract
In this paper a class of Boundary Value Methods obtained as an extension of the Numerov's method is proposed for the numerical approximation of the eigenvalues of regular Sturm-Liouville problems subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions. It is proved that the error in the so obtained estimate of the kth eigenvalue behaves as O (k^(p + 1) h^(p - 1/2)) + O (k^(p+2) h^p), where p is the order of accuracy of the method and h is the discretization stepsize. Numerical results comparing the performances of the new matrix methods with that of the corrected Numerov's method are also reported.File in questo prodotto:
