8.2 Basic <strong>The</strong>ory of Boundary Value Problems<br />
In vector form the basic two point boundary value problem is given by<br />
y ′ = f(t, y) (8.14)<br />
g(y(a), y(b)) = 0 (8.15)<br />
for some function (generally nonlinear) g(u, v). When the boundary condition is<br />
linear then for some given data d<br />
B a y(a) + B b y(b) = d (8.16)<br />
for some square matrices B a and B b . In general, however, we will define<br />
B a = ∂g<br />
∂u<br />
B b = ∂g<br />
∂v<br />
for both linear and nonlinear boundary conditions.<br />
