Figure 11
Existence of solutions to the eigenvalue problem stated in equation (33), in which ρ(m, μ) is the eigenvalue (shown for m ≤ 40). Cases for which a solution exists are marked by a green box, and those for which a solution does not exist are marked by a red one. White boxes represent non-admissible cases, for which ρ(m, μ) is (i) non-positive (in the case μ < m), (ii) non-definite (μ = m) or (iii) just repeats the already observed pattern (μ > m). This last case distinction reflects the fact that ρ(m, μ) = ρ(m, μ + km) for . Note the preferential absence or presence of solutions for m being an odd or even number, respectively. |
