Boundary criterion for integral operators

详细

Integral operators of the form \(L_K^{ - 1} f(x) = \int\limits_\Omega {K(x,t)f(t)dt}\) for the case of a finite domain Ω ⊂ Rⁿ with smooth boundary ∂Ω are considered. Conditions on the real kernel K(x, t) of an integral operator under which this operator satisfies a well-defined boundary condition for the corresponding differential equation are found. The application of the results is demonstrated on the example of a Sturm–Liouville equation, for which the derivation of the general form of well-posed boundary value problems is presented.
