Abstract:
We consider in a Banach space the following two abstract systems of first-order and
second-order linear ordinary differential equations with general boundary conditions, respectively,
$$
X'(t)-A_0(t)X(t)=F(t), \quad \Phi(X)=\sum_{j=1}^n M_j\Psi_j(X),
$$
and
\begin{gather*}
X''(t)-S(t)X'(t)-Q(t)X(t)=F(t),\\
\Phi(X)=\sum_{i=j}^n M_j\Psi_j(X), \quad \Phi(X')=C\Phi(X)+\sum_{j=1}^r N_j\Theta_j(X),
\end{gather*}
where $X(t) = \mathrm{col}(x_1(t), \dots,x_m(t))$ denotes a vector of unknown functions, $F(t)$ is a given vector and $A_0(t)$, $S(t)$, $Q(t)$ are given matrices, $\Phi$, $\Psi_1,\dots,\Psi_n$, $\Theta_1,\dots,\Theta_r$ are vectors of linear bounded functionals, and $M_1,\dots,M_n$, $C$, $N_1,\dots, N_r$ are constant matrices.
We first provide solvability conditions
and a solution formula for the first-order system. Then we construct in closed form the solution of a
special system of $2m$ first-order linear ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients when
the solution of the associated system of $m$ first-order linear ordinary differential equations is known.
Finally, we construct in closed form the solution of the second-order system in the case in which it
can be factorized into first-order systems.
