Eigenvalue Ratios for vibrating string equations with single-well densities
Abstract
In this paper, we prove the optimal upper bound $\frac{λ_n}{λ_m}\leq(\frac{n}{m})^2$ of vibrating string $$-y''=λρ(x) y,$$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions for single-well densities. The proof is based on the inequality $\frac{λ_n(ρ)}{λ_{m}(ρ)}\leq \frac{λ_n(L)}{λ_{m}(L)} ,$ with $L$ must be a stepfunction. We also prove the same result for the Dirichlet Sturm-Liouville problems.
