On minimum number of distinct eigenvalues for a Stieltjes string problem on a tree

  • V. M. Pivovarchik South Ukrainian National Pedagogical University named after K. D. Ushynsky

Abstract

 

Spectral problems are considered related to small vibrations of a tree of Stieltjes strings. It is shown that the minimum number of distinct eigenvalues of such a problem equals the maximal length (measured in number of point masses) of paths in the tree.
