NSU Math Student to Give Lecture on Second Order Boundary Value Problems, Nov. 3
Join NSU’s Halmos College of Natural Sciences and Oceanography for the next Mathematics Colloquium Series event.
Speaker: Samantha A. Major, NSU Mathematics Major
Thursday, November 3
Reception: 11:30 a.m. | Department of Mathematics Suite | Mailman-Hollywood Building, Second Floor
Lecture: Noon–1:00 p.m. | Mailman-Hollywood Building, Second Floor Auditorium
This talk is free and open to the public.
Using a few conditions, continuous dependence, and a result regarding smoothness of initial conditions, we show that derivatives, with respect to each of the boundary data, of solutions to a second order boundary value problem with an average value integral condition solve the associated variational equation with interesting boundary conditions.
