The shooting method and multiple solutions of two/multi-point BVPs of second-order ODE.
In the paper the singular Cauchy-Nicoletti problem for the system ot two ordinary differential equations is considered. New sufficient conditions for solvability of this problem are proved. In the proofs the topological method is applied. Some comparisons with known results are also given in the paper.
In this paper, the general ordinary quasi-differential expression of -th order with complex coefficients and its formal adjoint on any finite number of intervals , , are considered in the setting of the direct sums of -spaces of functions defined on each of the separate intervals, and a number of results concerning the location of the point spectra and the regularity fields of general differential operators generated by such expressions are obtained. Some of these are extensions or generalizations...
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.
