On the solvability of nonlocal initial-boundary value problems for a partial differential equation of high even order

Abstract

In the present paper, two non-local initial-boundary value problems have been formulated for a partial differential equation of high even order with a Bessel operator in a rectangular domain. The correctness of one of the considered problems has been investigated. To do this, applying the method of separation of variables to the problem under consideration, the spectral problem was obtained for an ordinary differential equation of high even order. The self-adjointness of the last problem was proved, which implies the existence of the system of its eigenfunctions, as well as orthonormality and completeness of this system. Further, the Green's function of the spectral problem was constructed, with the help of which it was equivalently reduced to the Fredholm integral equation of the second kind with symmetrical kernel. Using this integral equation and Mercer's theorem, the uniform convergence of some bilinear series depending on found eigenfunctions has been studied. The order of the Fourier coefficients was established. The solution of the considered problem has been written as the sum of a Fourier series with respect to the system of eigenfunctions of the spectral problem. The uniform convergence of this series and also the series obtained from it by term-by-term differentiation was proved. Using the method of spectral analysis, the uniqueness of the solution of the problem was proved. An estimate for the solution of the problem was obtained, from which its continuous dependence on the given functions follows.
