Solutions of the Variational Equation for an nth Order Boundary Value Problem with an Integral Boundary Condition

Benjamin L. Jeffers, Jeffery W. Lyons

In this paper, we discuss differentiation of solutions to the boundary value problem $y^{(n)} = f(x, y, y^{'}, y^{''}, \ldots, y^{(n-1)}), \; a<x<b,\; y^{(i)}(x_j) = y_{ij},\; 0\le…
