It is useful to have canonical forms of boundary conditions in the study of the eigenvalues of boundary value problems and associated numerical applications. In [J. Appl. Anal. Comput., 2024, 14(4), {1854--1868}], a canonical form is given…

When ${\cal{D}}$ is a linear partial differential operator of any order, a direct problem is to look for an operator ${\cal{D}}_1$ generating the compatibility conditions (CC) ${\cal{D}}_1\eta=0$ of ${\cal{D}}\xi=\eta$. We may thus…

The necessity of a Maximum Principle arises naturally when one is interested in the study of qualitative properties of solutions to partial differential equations. In general, to ensure the validity of these kind of principles one has to…
