Method of functional parametrization for solving a semi-periodic initial problem for fourth-order partial differential equations

Abstract

A semi-periodic initial boundary-value problem for a fourth-order system of partial differential equations is considered. Using the method of functional parametrization, an additional parameter is carried out and the studied problem is reduced to the equivalent semi-periodic problem for a system of integro-differential equations of hyperbolic type second order with functional parameters and integral relations. An interrelation between the semi-periodic problem for the system of integro-differential equations of hyperbolic type and a family of Cauchy problems for a system of ordinary differential equations is established. Algorithms for finding of solutions to an equivalent problem are constructed and their convergence is proved. Sufficient conditions of a unique solvability to the semi-periodic initial boundary value problem for the fourth order system of partial differential equations are obtained.
