A simple and uni"ed approach is presented for the vibration analysis of a generally supported beam. The #exural displacement of the beam is sought as the linear combination of a Fourier series and an auxiliary polynomial function. The polynomial function is introduced to take all the relevant discon

β¦ Synopsis
We extend the classical Ambarzumyan's theorem for the Sturm-Liouville equation (which is concerned only with Neumann boundary conditions) to the general boundary conditions, by imposing an additional condition on the potential function. Our result supplements the PΓΆschel-Trubowitz inverse spectral theory. We also have parallel results for vectorial Sturm-Liouville systems.

In simulations of propagating blast waves the effects of artificial reflections at open boundaries can seriously degrade the accuracy of the computations. In this paper, a boundary condition based on a local approximation by a plane traveling wave is presented. The method yields small artificial ref
