Upper bounds for the eigenvalues of differential equations

Journal of Inequalities and Applications volume 2006, Article number: 48606 (2006) Cite this article

Abstract

We establish upper bounds for the eigenvalues of second-order and fourth-order differential equations. The inequalities are obtained via rearrangements of higher degree.
