Systems of difference equations associated with boundary value problems for second order systems of ordinary differential equations (Q1583940)

Existence results are established concerning the solutions of boundary value problems for systems of second order difference equations associated with systems of second order ordinary differential equations subject to nonlinear boundary conditions. The main one states that if the system function satisfies a Nagumo growth condition and the boundary conditions are strongly compatible then for sufficiently small grid size problem the given problem has a solution. The conditions placed on the system function and the solution domain are simple and easily verifiable in practice.
