Two (multi) point nonlinear Lyapunov systems associated with an \(n\)th order nonlinear system of differential equations -- existence and uniqueness (Q5950081)

Summary: The authors present a criterion for the existence and uniqueness of solutions to two- and multipoint boundary value problems associated with an \(n\)th-order nonlinear Lyapunov system. A variation of parameters formula is developed and used as a tool to obtain existence and uniqueness. They discuss the solution to the second-order problem by the ADI method and develop a fixed-point method to find the general solution to the \(n\)th-order Lyapunov system. The results of \textit{S. Barnett} [SIAM J. Appl. Math. 24, No. 1, 1-5 (1973; Zbl 0252.34012)] are a particular case.
