Numerical-analytic Methods in the Theory of Boundary-value Problems

Book excerpt: This book contains the main results of the authors' investigations on the development and application of numerical-analytic methods for ordinary nonlinear boundary value problems (BVPs). The methods under consideration provide an opportunity to solve the two important problems of the BVP theory ? namely, to establish existence theorems and to build approximation solutions. They can be used to investigate a wide variety of BVPs.The Appendix, written in collaboration with S I Trofimchuk, discusses the connection of the new method with the classical Cesari, Cesari-Hale and Lyapunov-Schmidt methods.
