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 />

Example 8.1. For the boundary value problem considered in section 8.1<br />
