Recent trends in the theory of boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations.
Roberto Conti · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1967
The theory of boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations almost exclusively included, until a few years ago, problems with side conditions assigned over a compact interval of the idependent variable. By contrast, problems involving the behavior of solutions over non compact intervals were usually labelled as asymptotic. Recent developments of the theory show a tendency to reduce more and more this traditionally accepted distinction. The report gives an account of such a trend. The bibliography refers mainly to the literature of the last 15 years.
