Abstract. A method for finding eigenvalues (EVs) and eigenfunctions of a self-adjoint differential problem has been developed. A two-point boundary value problem for a linear Hamiltonian ODE system is considered in a finite interval and on a half-line; a spectral parameter is involved into the system non-linearly. Following the proposed technique one can calculate all the EVs lying in a given interval (counting for their multiplicities). The method is based on oscillation properties of the system and essentially uses monotone dependence of its matrix on a spectral parameter. The numerical procedure includes a new version of the transfer (pivotal condensation) method. The method has been applied to several problems occurring in the shell theory; numerical results are also presented.
