Abstract: The modelling of physical phenomena, such as the
earth’s free oscillations, the vibration of strings, the interaction of
atomic particles, or the steady state flow in a bar give rise to Sturm-
Liouville (SL) eigenvalue problems. The boundary applications of
some systems like the convection-diffusion equation, electromagnetic
and heat transfer problems requires the combination of Dirichlet and
Neumann boundary conditions. Hence, the incorporation of Robin
boundary condition in the analyses of Sturm-Liouville problem. This
paper deals with the computation of the eigenvalues and
eigenfunction of generalized Sturm-Liouville problems with Robin
boundary condition using the finite element method. Numerical
solution of classical Sturm–Liouville problem is presented. The
results show an agreement with the exact solution. High results
precision is achieved with higher number of elements.
