Abstract:
In this paper, we examine differential equations with nonclassical initial conditions and irreversible operators in their principal parts. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of unbounded solutions with a $p$th-order pole at points where the operator in the principal part of the differential equation is irreversible. Based on the alternative Lyapunov–Schmidt method and Laurent expansions, we propose a two-stage method for constructing expansion coefficients of the solution in a neighborhood of a pole. Illustrative examples are given. We develop the techniques of skeleton chains of linear operators in Banach spaces and discuss its applications to the statement of initial conditions for differential equations. The results obtained develop the theory of degenerate differential equations.
