Abstract:
For singularly perturbed second order equations the dependence of eigenvalues of the first boundary problem on a small parameter at the highest derivative is studied. The main assumption is that the coefficient at the first derivative in the equation is the sign of the variable. This leads to the emerging of so-called turning points. Asymptotic expansions on the small parameter are obtained for all eigenvalues of the considered boundary problem. It turns out that the expansions are defined by the behavior of coefficients in a neighborhood of turning points only.
