RT Journal Article T1 Characterization of non-disconjugacy for a one parameter family of n-th order linear differential equations A1 Cabada Fernández, Alberto A1 Saavedra López, Lorena K1 Disconjugacy K1 Green's functions K1 Spectral theory AB The aim of this paper is to obtain different criteria which allow us to affirm that the one parameter family of $n^{\mathrm{th}}-$order linear differential equations, given by the following expression\[ T_n[M]\,u(t) \equiv u^{(n)}(t)+a_1(t)\, u^{(n-1)}(t)+\cdots +a_{n-1}(t)\, u'(t)+(a_{n}(t)+M)\,u(t)=0 \,,\quad t\in I\equiv[a,b]\,,\] is not disconjugate for every $M\in \mathbb{R}$. Three different sufficient criteria, which ensure that such property holds, are presented. Moreover, a characterization of this property is given. To finish the paper, three examples, where the different criteria are applied, are shown.
