Abstract: The vibrations of a vertical pendulum consisting of a bob suspended from a wire are studied by the method of integral equations and the composite method, respectively. The composite method combines the minimum principles and the method of integral equations. This problem consists of the fourth-order differential equation and the boundary conditions dependent on the eigenvalue parameter. Lower bounds are established for the lowest natural frequencies by both methods. Numerical results are presented. Both theoretical and computational efficiencies are illustrated and the method of integral equations is stressed.
