Abstract

Abstract Consider a linear nth order differential equation with continuous coefficients and continuous forcing term. The maximal uniqueness interval for a classical 2-point boundary value problem will be calculated by an algorithm that uses an auxiliary linear system of differential equations, called a Mikusinski system. This system always has higher order than n. The algorithm leads to a graphical representation of the uniqueness profile and to a new method for solving 2-point boundary value problems. The ideas are applied to construct a graphic for the conjugate function associated with the nth order linear homogeneous differential equation. Details are given about how to solve classical 2-point boundary value problems, using auxiliary Mikusinski systems and Green’s function.
