We obtain conditions for the bifurcation of solutions of linear degenerate Noetherian boundary-value problems with small parameter under the assumption that the unperturbed degenerate differential system can be reduced to the central canonical form.
Statement of the Problem and Main AssumptionsWe consider the following linear inhomogeneous boundary value-problem with small parameter:where A(t), A 1 (t), B(t), and B 1 (t) are n × n matrices whose components are real functions continuously differentiable sufficiently many times onan n-dimensional column vector from the space C q−1 [a; b] (the value of q is determined according to Theorem 2.1 in [1]), α is an m-dimensional column vector of constants, α ∈ R m , and l and l 1 are linear vector functionals defined on the space of n-dimensional vector functions continuous on [a; b], l = col (l 1 , . . . , l m ) : C[a, b] → R m , l 1 = col l 1 1 , . . . , l 1 m : C[a, b] → R m , l i , l 1 i : C[a, b] → R. Assume that the generating degenerate boundary-value problemwhich is obtained from (1), (2) for ε = 0, does not have solutions for arbitrary inhomogeneities f (t) ∈ C q−1 [a, b] and α ∈ R m . Assume that, by a nondegenerate linear transformation, system (3) can be reduced to a central canonical form [1,2].Let us find conditions for the perturbing coefficients A 1 (t) and B 1 (t) in the differential system (1) and for l 1 in the boundary condition (2) under which the boundary-value problem (1), (2) has a solution.
