Abstract:
The linear system of partial
differential equations is considered. It is assumed that there is
an irreversible linear operator in the main part of the system.
The operator is assumed to enjoy the skeletal decomposition. The
differential operators of such system are assumed to have
sufficiently smooth coefficients. In the concrete situations the
domains of such differential operators are linear manifolds of
smooth enough functions with values in Banach space. Such
functions are assumed to satisfy additional boundary conditions.
The concept of a skeleton chain of linear operator is introduced.
It is assumed that the operator generates a skeleton chain of the
finite length. In this case, the problem of solution of a given
system is reduced to a regular split system of equations. The
system is resolved with respect to the highest differential
expressions taking into account certain initial and boundary
conditions.
The proposed approach can be generalized and applied to the
boundary value problems in the nonlinear case. Presented results
develop the theory of degenerate differential equations summarized
in the monographs MR 87a:58036, Zbl 1027.47001.
