The Relationship

We explore the relationship between the Evans function, transmission coefficient and Fredholm determinant for systems of first-order linear differential operators on the real line. The applications we have in mind include linear stability problems associated with travelling wave solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations, for example reaction–diffusion or solitary wave equations. The Evans function and transmission coefficient, which are both finite determinants, are natural tools for both analytic and numerical determination of eigenvalues of such linear operators. However, inverting the eigenvalue problem by the free-state operator generates a natural linear integral eigenvalue problem whose solvability is determined through the corresponding infinite Fredholm determinant. The relationship between all three determinants has received a lot of recent attention. We focus on the case when the underlying Fredholm operator is a trace class perturbation of the identity. Our new results include (i) clarification of the sense in which the Evans function and transmission coefficient are equivalent and (ii) proof of the equivalence of the transmission coefficient and Fredholm determinant, in particular in the case of distinct far fields.

The original conditions of solvability and the scheme of finding solutions of a linear Noetherian difference-algebraic boundary-value problem are proposed in the article, while the technique of pseudoinversion of matrices by Moore-Penrose is substantially used. The problem posed in the article continues to study the conditions for solvability of linear Noetherian boundary value problems given in the monographs of A.M. Samoilenko, A.V. Azbelev, V.P. Maximov, L.F. Rakhmatullina and A.A. Boichuk. The study of differential-algebraic boundary-value problems is closely related to the investigation of boundary-value problems for difference equations, initiated in the works of A.A. Markov, S.N. Bernstein, Y.S. Bezikovych, O.O. Gelfond, S.L. Sobolev, V.S. Ryabenkyi, V.B. Demidovych, A. Halanai, G.I. Marchuk, A.A. Samarskyi, Yu.A. Mytropolskyi, D.I. Martyniuk, G.M. Vainiko, A.M. Samoilenko and A.A. Boichuk. On the other hand, the study of boundary-value problems for difference equations is related to the study of differential-algebraic boundary-value problems initiated in the papers of K. Weierstrass, N.N. Lusin and F.R. Gantmacher. Systematic study of differential-algebraic boundary value problems is devoted to the works of S. Campbell, Yu.E. Boyarintsev, V.F. Chistyakov, A.M. Samoilenko, N.A. Perestiyk, V.P. Yakovets, A.A. Boichuk, A. Ilchmann and T. Reis. The study of differential-algebraic boundary value problems is also associated with numerous applications of such problems in the theory of nonlinear oscillations, in mechanics, biology, radio engineering, control theory, motion stability theory. The general case of a linear bounded operator corresponding to the homogeneous part of a linear Noetherian difference-algebraic boundary value problem has no inverse is investigated. The generalized Green operator of a linear difference-algebraic boundary value problem is constructed in the article. The relevance of the study of solvability conditions, as well as finding solutions of linear Noetherian difference-algebraic boundary-value problems, is associated with the widespread use of difference-algebraic boundary-value problems obtained by linearizing nonlinear Noetherian boundary-value problems for systems of ordinary differential and difference equations. Solvability conditions are proposed, as well as the scheme of finding solutions of linear Noetherian difference-algebraic boundary value problems are illustrated in detail in the examples.
