Grassmann Convexity and Multiplicative Sturm Theory, Revisited
Stockholm University, Faculty of Science, Department of Mathematics.
Number of Authors: 32021 (English)In: Moscow Mathematical Journal, ISSN 1609-3321, E-ISSN 1609-4514, Vol. 21, no 3, p. 613-637Article in journal (Refereed) Published
Abstract [en]

In this paper we settle a special case of the Grassmann convexity conjecture formulated by the second and the third authors about a decade ago. We present a conjectural formula for the maximal total number of real zeros of the consecutive Wronskians of an arbitrary fundamental solution to a disconjugate linear ordinary differential equation with real time. We show that this formula gives the lower bound for the required total number of real zeros for equations of an arbitrary order and, using our results on the Grassmann convexity, we prove that the aforementioned formula is correct for equations of orders 4 and 5.
