Abstract

This article contains an exposition of fundamental results of the theory of boundary-value problems for systems of linear and nonlinear ordinary differential equations. In particular, criteria are given for problems with functional, many-point, and two-point boundary conditions to be solvable and well-posed, as well as methods of finding approximate solutions. We also examine questions of existence, uniqueness, and stability of periodic and bounded solutions of nonautonomous differential systems.
