Let L(p)u = D4u - (p1u)+ p2u be a fourth-order differential operator acting on L2[0; 1] with p (p1; p2) belonging to L2[0, 1] x L2[0, 1] and boundary conditions u(0) = u''(0) = u(1) = u''(1) = 0. We study the isospectral set of L(p) when L(p) has simple spectrum. In particular we show that for such p …

The oblique stagnation-point flow of an electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a magnetic field is a highly nonlinear problem whose solution is of interest even in the simplest of geometries. The problem models the flow of a viscous conducting fluid near a point where a separation vortex reattaches itself to a rigid boundary. A similarity solution exists which reduces the problem to a coupled system of four ordinary differential equations which can be integrated numerically. The problem has two independent parameters, the conductivity of the fluid and the strength of the magnetic field. Solutions are tabulated for a …
