Green’s function inequalities for two-point boundary value problems

Peter W. Bates and Grant Bernard Gustafson

Vol. 59 (1975), No. 2, 327–343
Abstract

Simple inequalities are obtained for the Green’s function G(t,s) of a two-point boundary value problem for a k-th order linear ordinary differential equation. The constants appearing in the inequalities are best possible. Each estimate has right side a product of a function of t and a function of s. Illustrations are given for k = 2,3,4 and certain k-th order constant coefficient operators.
