Abstract

Boundary-value problems are differential problems set in an interval (a, b) of the real line or in an open multidimensional region \(\it\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^d(d=\mathrm{2,3})\) for which the value of the unknown solution (or its derivatives) is prescribed at the end-points a and b of the interval, or on the boundary \(\partial\it\Omega\) of the multidimensional region.
