Abel-Gontscharoff boundary value problems on measure chains (Q1612312)

Here, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Abel-Gontscharoff boundary value problem \[ y^{\Delta{^n}}(t)=f (t,y(t),y^\Delta (t),\dots,y^{\Delta{^q}}(t)), \;t\in [ a,\rho^n(b)], \quad y^{\Delta{^i}}(a_{i+1})=A_{i+1},\;0\leq i\leq n-1, \tag{1} \] on a measure chain are obtained. The convergence of iterative methods to the unique solution to (1) is discussed. Examples are given to illustrate the applicability of the results obtained.
