Optimal Interval Lengths for Nonlocal Boundary Value Problems Associated with Third Order Lipschitz Equations
Abstract
For the third order differential equation, y triple prime=f(x,y,y′,y″), where f(x,y1,y2,y3) is Lipschitz continuous in terms of yi, i=1,2,3, we obtain optimal bounds on the length of intervals on which there exist unique solutions of certain nonlocal three and four point boundary value problems. These bounds are obtained through an application of the Pontryagin Maximum Principle from the theory of optimal control.
