A Representative Solution to m-Order Linear Ordinary Differential Equation with Nonlocal Conditions by Green's Functional Concept

Abstract

In this work, we investigate a linear completely nonhomogeneous nonlocal multipoint problem for an m-order ordinary differential equation with generally variable nonsmooth coefficients satisfying some general properties such as p-integrability and boundedness. A system of m + 1 integro-algebraic equations called the special adjoint system is constructed for this problem. Green's functional is a solution of this special adjoint system. Its first component corresponds to Green's function for the problem. The other components correspond to the unit effects of the conditions. A solution to the problem is an integral representation which is based on using this new Green's functional. Some illustrative implementations and comparisons are provided with some known results in order to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed approach.
