A review is given of the results obtained by the authors on the topic formulated in the title. New results are also presented: methods more general than those suggested earlier are described for constructing admissible boundary conditions at a singular point in the case of systems of first-order equations, and generalized systems of second-order equations with pole-type singularities are analysed, special attention being focused on the conditions of boundedness of the solutions at a singular point and to the emission-type conditions at infinity.The paper gives a definition of the admissible boundary condition at a pole of a system of linear ordinary differential equations. A sufficiently wide class of linear relations is specified, which can provide admissible boundary conditions at a singular point. A particular case covered by this class is the practically important case of emission-type boundary conditions at infinity for systems of second-order equations. Methods of transfer of admissible boundary conditions from singularities in solving singular boundary value problems are described. The results on the application of the suggested methods to solving specific applied problems encountered in oceanology, nuclear physics, radiophysics and acoustics are presented.The present paper is closely related to earlier papers [1,2,11] which are not cited in the text. The results to be described below were briefly outlined earlier in [4].
DEFINITION OF ADMISSIBLE BOUNDARY CONDITIONSConsider on the interval [Ο,α] a system of η homogeneous linear ordinary differential equationswhere r is a positive integer. Assume that the matrix A(t) is continuous on the interval [Ο, a], and can be approximated, at small i, by the convergent (or asymptotic) seriesThe point 0 is a singular point of system (1.1). Let us consider the solutions of (1.1) on a half-open interval [Ο,α]. We introduce the concept of admissible boundary condition at a singular point forOriginally published in Russian as the preprint "Transfer of admissible boundary conditions from a singular point for systems of linear ordinary differential equations", Vychislit.
