Solutions and Green's functions for boundary value problems of second-order four-point functional difference equations.
We prove identities involving sums of Legendre and Jacobi polynomials. The identities are related to Green’s functions for powers of the invariant Laplacian and to the Minakshisundaram-Pleijel zeta function.
This paper is concerned with the existence of bounded or unbounded solutions to third-order boundary value problem on the half-line with functional boundary conditions. The arguments are based on the Green functions, a Nagumo condition, Schauder fixed point theorem and lower and upper solutions method. An application to a Falkner-Skan equation with functional boundary conditions is given to illustrate our results.
