Krein [1] mentioned that for each PD equation we have two extreme operators, one is the minimal in which solution and its derivatives on the boundary are zero, the other one is the maximal operator in which there is no prescribed boundary conditions. They claim it is not possible to have a related boundary value problem for an arbitrarily chosen operator in between. They have only considered lo...

We consider multivariate sequences, deened by a partial linear recurrence equation together with appropriate boundary conditions. The domain of deenition of these sequences is the rst orthant of the integer lattice, restricted in some dimensions to an initial segment of the nonnegative integers. By means of the kernel method we obtain an explicit expression for the generating function of the so...

Solutions are obtained for the boundary value problem, y(n) + f(x, y) = 0, y(i)(0) = y(1) = 0, 0 ≤ i ≤ n − 2, where f(x, y) is singular at y = 0. An application is made of a fixed point theorem for operators that are decreasing with respect to a cone. §

It is shown that the non-homogeneous Dirichlet and Neuman problems for the 2-order Seiberg-Witten equation admit a regular solution once the H-condition 3.1.1 is satisfied. The approach consist in applying the elliptic techniques to the variational setting of the Seiberg-Witten equation.

In this paper, we have presented a finite difference technique to solve singularly perturbed two-point boundary value problem using deviating argument. We have replaced the given second order boundary value problem by an asymptotically equivalent first order differential equation with deviating argument. We have applied a fourth order finite difference approximation for the first derivative and...

This paper reviews developments in the theory of boundary critique, which has been used in a number of OR projects to support conflict resolution. The authors argue that this theory (and associated models) is also useful for conflict prevention. It indicates the need to support people in discussing their differences before conflict arises. Potential conflicts can be reframed through dialogue fo...

In this chapter we discuss discrete variable methods for solving BVPs for ordinary differential equations. These methods produce solutions that are defined on a set of discrete points. Methods of this type are initial-value techniques, i.e., shooting and superposition, and finite difference schemes. We will discuss initialvalue and finite difference methods for linear and nonlinear BVPs, and th...

In the first part of this chapter we focus on the question of well-posedness of boundary-value problems for linear partial differential equations of elliptic type. The second part is devoted to the construction and the error analysis of finite difference schemes for these problems. It will be assumed throughout that the coefficients in the equation, the boundary data and the resulting solution ...
