Abstract: | The final step in the mathematical solution of many problems in mathematical physics and engineering is the solution of a linear, two-point boundary-value problem such as $$\begin{gathered} \ddot u - q(t)u = - g(t), 0< t< x \hfill \\ (0) = 0, \dot u(x) = 0 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ Such problems frequently arise in a variational context. In terms of the Green's functionG, the solution is $$u(t) = \int_0^x {G(t, y, x)g(y) dy} $$ It is shown that the Green's function may be represented in the form $$G(t,y,x) = m(t,y) - \int_y^x {q(s)m(t, s) m(y, s)} ds, 0< t< y< x$$ wherem satisfies the Fredholm integral equation $$m(t,x) = k(t,x) - \int_0^x k (t,y) q(y) m(y, x) dy, 0< t< x$$ and the kernelk is $$k(t, y) = min(t, y)$$ |
