We study the first boundary value problem for a second-order differential operator with a singular coefficient on an interval with transmission conditions at an interior point. Asymptotic formulas are obtained for the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of both the original and the adjoint operator. The completeness and unconditional basis property of the eigenfunction systems of these operators in the space of square integrable functions on the interval are established. Il’in’s method and Il’in’s conditions are applied to establish the Bessel inequality.

Necessary conditions for the summability of spectral expansions in eigenfunctions of an elliptic operator with a Bessel operator in one of the variables in an arbitrary N">N-dimensional domain adjacent to the singularity hypersurface are obtained. It is proved that if the spectral expansion of an arbitrary function at some point of this hypersurface is summable by Riesz means, then its average value over the half-ball centered at the specified point has generalized smoothness.

A survey of the development of the traveling wave method for one-dimensional media is presented. The main results and changes in the statement of the problem of representing solutions of linear systems of partial differential equations in terms of “traveling waves” (more precisely, in terms of a system of wave transport equations) are presented. It is shown that as the study of systems becomes more complicated, the problem of representing the solution by the traveling wave method turns out to be applicable not only for hyperbolic systems but also for systems containing (even implicitly) both parabolic and elliptic components and thereby approaches the general problem of decomposition of an arbitrary system of linear equations into a system of first-order equations with a main part of the canonical type and with a subordinate linear part.

For a hyperbolic system with simple characteristics in the n-dimensional space of independent variables, the existence and uniqueness of a solution of the Darboux problem is proved. The Riemann–Hadamard matrix is determined, and the solution of the Darboux problem is constructed in terms of this matrix. As an example of application of the results, the solution of the Darboux problem for a system with four independent variables is constructed in detail.

We prove the existence of solutions of a boundary value problem for a system of five nonlinear second-order partial differential equations with given nonlinear boundary conditions, which describes the equilibrium state of elastic shallow inhomogeneous isotropic shells with free edges in the Timoshenko shear model referred to isometric coordinates. The boundary value problem is reduced to a nonlinear operator equation for generalized displacements in the Sobolev space, the solvability of which is established using the contraction mapping principle.

We consider integro-differential equations (IDEs) with a rapidly oscillating inhomogeneity and with a Volterra-type integral operator whose kernels can contain both a classical rapidly decreasing exponential (the simplest case) and fundamental solutions of differential systems (the general case). Difficulty in constructing a regularized (according to S.A. Lomov) asymptotics in the general case is due to the complex asymptotic structure of the fundamental solution matrix (Cauchy matrix) of the homogeneous differential system. In the present paper, we first construct a regularized asymptotics of the Cauchy matrix, which is then used to construct a regularized asymptotics of the solution of the IDE.
