The Convergence of Spline Collocation for Strongly Elliptic Equations on Curves.
In the paper it is proved that each generalized boundary value problem for the n-th order linear differential equation generates a Fredholm mapping of index zero.
The problem was motivated by Borůvka’s definitions of the carrier and the associated carrier. The inverse carrier problem is precisely defined and partially solved. Examples are given.
The characterization of the domain of the Friedrichs extension as a restriction of the maximal domain is well known. It depends on principal solutions. Here we establish a characterization as an extension of the minimal domain. Our proof is different and closer in spirit to the Friedrichs construction. It starts with the assumption that the minimal operator is bounded below and does not directly use oscillation theory.
The method of transfer of boundary conditions yields a universal frame into which most methods for solving boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations can be included. The purpose of this paper is to show a possibility to extend the idea of transfer of conditions to a particular twodimensional problem.
Numerical solution of linear boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations by the method of transfer of conditions consists in replacing the problem under consideration by a sequence of initial value problems. The method of transfer for systems of equations of the first order with Lebesque integrable coefficients was studied by one of the authors before. The purpose of this paper is to extend the idea of the transfer of conditions to singular boundary value problems for a linear second-order...
