Multipoint Boundary Value Problems for Ordinary Differential Systems

Solutions, u(x), of the first order system, u′ = ƒ(x, u), satisfying the multipoint boundary conditions, ∑kj = 1Mju(xj) = r, are differentiated with respect to the com components of r and with respect to the boundary points, xj, where M1, ..., Mk are n × n constant real matrices, r n, and x1 < • • • < xk.
