“…However many important phenomena occurring in various fields of science are described mathematically by highorder Sturm-Liouville problems. For example, the free vibration analysis of beam structures [6], [7], [8] is governed by a fourth-order Sturm-Liouville problem, and it is known that when a layer of fluid is heated from below and is subject to the action of rotation, instability may set as overstability, this instability my be modelled by a eighth-order Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem with appropriate boundary conditions specified. It may be noted that, when instability sets as ordinary convection, the marginal state will be characterized by sixth-order Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem [9], [10], [11], [12].…”
