Abstract
This article mainly studies the boundary value problems for hypergenic function vectors in Clifford analysis. Firstly, some properties of hypergenic quasi-Cauchy type integrals are discussed. Then, by the Schauder fixed point theorem the existence of the solution to the nonlinear boundary value problem is proved. Finally, using the compression mapping principle the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the linear boundary value problem are proved.
1 Introduction
A Clifford algebra is an associative and noncommutable algebra [1]. In 1982, Brackx, Delanghe and Sommen [2] established the theoretical basis of Clifford analysis. In recent years, Clifford analysis has been widely used in physics and in mathematics [3–5]. Eriksson [6–8], Huang [9, 10], Qiao [11, 12], Xie [13–17] and Yang [18, 19] have done a lot of work in Clifford analysis. In 1996, Huang [10] studied the nonlinear boundary value problem for biregular functions in Clifford analysis. In 2000, Cai, Huang and Qiao [20] studied the nonlinear boundary value problem for biregular functions vector in Clifford analysis. In 2003, Xie, Qiao and Jiao [20] studied a nonlinear boundary value problem for a generalized biregular function vector. In 2005, Qiao [11] discussed a linear boundary value problem for hypermonogenic functions in Clifford analysis. In 2009–2010, Eriksson and Orelma [6, 7] studied hypergenic functions in the real Clifford algebra \(\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R})\) and its Cauchy integral formula was given. In 2014, Xie [14, 15] studied the Cauchy integral for dual k-hypergenic functions and the boundary properties of the hypergenic quasi-Cauchy integral in real Clifford analysis were given. In 2016, Xie, Zhang and Tang [17] discussed some properties of k-hypergenic functions.
On the basis of the above, the boundary value problems for hypergenic function vectors are proved.
2 Preliminaries
See [6]; let \(\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R})\) be a real Clifford algebra and have identity element \(e_{\varnothing}=1\) and basis elements \(e_{0}, e_{1},\ldots, e_{n};e_{0}e_{1},\ldots,e_{n-1}e_{n}; \ldots ;e_{0}e_{1}\cdots e_{n}\), and satisfy
Any element in \(\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R})\) has the form \(a=\sum_{A}a_{A}e_{A}\), \(e_{A}=e_{\alpha_{1}}e_{\alpha_{2}}\cdots e_{\alpha _{h}}\) or \(e_{\varnothing}=1\), where \(A=\{\alpha_{1},\alpha_{2},\ldots,\alpha_{h} \}\), \(0\le \alpha_{1}<\alpha_{2}<\cdots<\alpha_{h}\le n\), \(a_{A}\in\mathbb {R}\). The norm of \(a\in \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R})\) is defined as \(\vert a \vert ={(\sum_{A} \vert a_{A} \vert ^{2})}^{\frac{1}{2}}\). In this paper \(J_{i}\) (\(i=1,2,\ldots, 32\)) is a positive constant. For any \(a,b\in{ \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R})}\), we have
If \(a=a_{0}e_{0}+a_{1}e_{1}+\cdots+a_{n}e_{n}\), it may be observed that \(a^{2}= \vert a \vert ^{2}\) and when \(a\neq0\) the inverse of a is \(a^{-1}= {\frac{a}{ \vert a \vert ^{2}}}\). See [6]; any element \(a\in \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb {R})\) can be uniquely decomposed as \(a=b+e_{0}c\), where \(b, c\in \mathit {Cl}_{n,0}(\mathbb{R})\). As regards decomposition we can define the mappings \(P_{0}:\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}\rightarrow \mathit {Cl}_{n,0}\) and \(Q_{0}: \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}\rightarrow \mathit {Cl}_{n,0}\) by \(P_{0}a=b\), \(Q_{0}a=c\), where b, c are called the \(P_{0}\) part and the \(Q_{0}\) part of a, respectively.
Let \(\Omega_{0}\) be a nonempty open connected set in \({R^{n+1}}\). The function \(f:\Omega_{0}\rightarrow \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R})\) is denoted by \(f(x)=\sum_{A}f_{A}(x)e_{A}\), where \(f_{A}\in\mathbb{R}\). The function \(f:\Omega_{0}\rightarrow \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R})\) is said to be continuous on \({\Omega_{0}}\) if and only if each component \(f_{A}(x)\) of \(f(x)\) is continuous on \({\Omega_{0}}\). Suppose \({C^{r}(\Omega_{0},\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R}))}=\{f\mid f:\Omega _{0}\rightarrow \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R}),f(x)=\sum_{A}f_{A}(x)e_{A}\), where \(f_{A}\) is r-times continuously differentiable on \(\Omega_{0}\) and \(r\in\mathbb{N}^{*}\}\).
For \(f\in{C^{1}(\Omega_{0},\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R}))}\), we introduce Dirac operators as follows [6]:
Definition 2.1
([15])
AÂ Lyapunov surface S is a surface satisfying the following three conditions:
-
(1)
Through each point in S, there is a tangent plane.
-
(2)
There is a real constant number d such that, for any \(N_{0}\in {S}\), E is a ball with radius d, centered at \(N_{0}\), and E is divided into two parts by S, the part of S lying in the interior of E is denoted by \(S^{\prime}\), the other is in the exterior of S: and each straight line parallel to the normal direction of S at \(N_{0}\) intersects it at one point.
-
(3)
If the angle \(\theta(N_{1},N_{2})\) between outward normal vectors through \(N_{1}\), \(N_{2}\) is an acute angle and r is the distance between \(N_{1}\) and \(N_{2}\), then there are two numbers β, α (\(0\leq\alpha\leq1\), \(\beta>0\)) independent of \(N_{1}\), \(N_{2}\) such that \(\theta(N_{1},N_{2})\leq\beta{r}^{\alpha}\).
Definition 2.2
([15])
The function f: \(\partial\Omega_{0}\longrightarrow \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R})\) is said to be Hölder continuous on \(\Omega _{0}\) if there exists a positive constant \(M_{0}\) such that \(\vert f(x_{1})-f(x_{2}) \vert \leq{M_{0} \vert x_{1}-x_{2} \vert ^{\beta}}\) (\(0<\beta<1\)) holds for any \(x_{1},x_{2}\in\partial\Omega_{0}\).
The set of all Hölder continuous functions which are defined on \(\Omega_{0}\) and valued in \(\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R})\) is denoted by \(H(\beta,\partial\Omega_{0},\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R}))\).
For any \(f\in{H(\beta,\partial\Omega_{0},\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R}))}\), we define the norm of f as \({ \Vert f \Vert _{\beta }}=C(f,\partial\Omega _{0})+H(f,\partial\Omega_{0},\beta)\), where
It is easy to prove that \(H(\beta,\partial\Omega _{0},\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R}))\) forms a Banach space.
For any \({f,g}\in{H(\beta,\partial\Omega_{0},\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb {R}))}\), we have
In this paper, let Ω be a domain in \(\mathbb{R}^{n+1}_{+}={\{ x\mid (x_{0},x_{1},\ldots,{x_{n}})\in\mathbb{R}^{n+1},x_{0}>0\}}\), and its boundary ∂Ω be a smooth compact oriented Lyapunov surface. For any \(f\in C^{1}(\Omega, \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R}))\), we introduce a modified Dirac operator as follows [6]:
Definition 2.3
([6])
\(f(x)\) is said to be a hypergenic function on Ω if \(f\in {C^{1}(\Omega, \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R}))}\) satisfies \(Hf=0\) on Ω.
In this paper, let \(E_{1}(x,y)= {\frac{x-y}{ \vert x-y \vert ^{n+1} \vert x-\widehat {y} \vert ^{n-1}}}\), \(E_{2}(x,y)= {\frac{\widehat{x}-y}{ \vert x-y \vert ^{n-1} \vert x-\widehat {y} \vert ^{n+1}}}\), and \(w_{n+1}\) is the surface area of the unit hypersphere in \(\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\).
Definition 2.4
([15])
is called a hypergenic quasi-Cauchy type integral if \(f\in{H(\beta ,\partial\Omega, \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R}))}\).
Lemma 2.1
([14])
If \(y\notin{\partial\Omega}\), \(f\in{H(\beta,\partial\Omega ,\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R}))}\), the hypergenic quasi-Cauchy type integral
is a hypergenic function on \({{\mathbb{R}}_{+}^{n+1}}\backslash {{\partial\Omega}}\).
Remark 2.1
If \(y\notin{\partial\Omega}\), \(f\in{H(\beta,\partial\Omega ,\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R}))}\), the hypergenic quasi-Cauchy type integral
satisfies \(\Psi_{f}{(\infty)}=0\).
Lemma 2.2
([15])
If \(f\in{H(\beta,\partial\Omega, \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R}))}\), then \(\Psi_{f}(y)\) is Hölder continuous on \(\Omega^{+}\cup\partial \Omega\) and \(\Omega^{-}\cup\partial\Omega\).
Let \(\mathbf{B}(\mathbf{y},\delta)\) be a ball with radius \(\delta>{0}\), centered at y when \(y\in{\partial\Omega}\). ∂Ω is divided into two parts by \(\mathbf{B}(\mathbf{y},\delta)\). The part of ∂Ω lying in the interior of \(\mathbf{B}(\mathbf{y},\delta)\) is denoted by \(\lambda_{\delta}\).
Definition 2.5
([15])
I is called the Cauchy principal of the singular integral value if \(\lim_{\delta\rightarrow{0}}\Psi_{f}(y)=\mathbf{I}\) exists, and we write directly \(\mathbf{I}=\Phi_{f}(y)\).
Lemma 2.3
([15])
If \(y\in\partial\Omega\), \(f\in{H(\beta,\partial\Omega ,\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R}))}\), then the Cauchy principal values of the singular integral (3) exist, and
when \(f=1\), we have \(\Phi_{1}(y)= \frac{1}{2}\).
Lemma 2.4
([15])
If \(y\in{\partial\Omega}\), \(f\in{H(\beta,\partial\Omega ,\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R})})\), then
Lemma 2.5
([5])
If Ω is a bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^{n+1}_{+}\), \(0<\alpha <n+1\), for any \(y\in\Omega\) we have
where \({M_{1}}(\alpha,\Omega)\) is a positive constant only related to α, Ω.
Definition 2.6
\(F(x)=(f_{1}(x),\ldots,f_{q}(x))\) is called a function vector if \(f_{i}(x):\Omega\rightarrow \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R})\) (\(i=1,\ldots,q\)).
For \(F(x)=(f_{1}(x),\ldots,f_{q}(x))\), \(K(x)=(k_{1}(x),\ldots ,k_{q}(x))\), define the addition operation and multiplication operation for function vectors as follows:
Let \(L(x)\) be a function valued in Clifford algebra \(\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb {R})\) and \(F(x)\) be a function vector, then
Define the model of a function vector as follows: \(\vert F(x) \vert =(\sum_{i=0}^{q} \vert f_{i}(x) \vert ^{2})^{\frac {1}{2}}\), we have
Definition 2.7
\(F(x)=(f_{1}(x),\ldots,f_{q}(x))\) is called a hypergenic function vector when each component \(f_{i}(x)\) (\(i=1,\ldots,q\)) is a hypergenic function on Ω.
Definition 2.8
A hypergenic function vector F is said to be Hölder continuous on ∂Ω if there is a positive constant \(M_{2}\) such that
holds for any \(x_{1},x_{2}\in\Omega\), where \(0<\beta<1\) and \(M_{2} \) is independent of \(x_{i}\) (\(i=1,2\)).
Remark 2.2
The hypergenic function vector \(F(x)=(f_{1}(x),\ldots,f_{q}(x))\) is Hölder continuous on ∂Ω if and only if each component \(f_{i}(x)\) (\(i=1,\ldots,q\)) of \(F(x)\) is Hölder continuous on ∂Ω.
The set of all Hölder continuous function vectors which are defined on ∂Ω and valued in \(\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R})\) is denoted by \(H_{q}(\beta,\partial\Omega, \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R}))\). For any \(F\in{H_{q}(\beta,\partial\Omega, \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R}))}\), the norm of F is defined as follows: \({ \Vert F \Vert _{\beta }}=C_{q}(F,\partial\Omega )+H_{q}(F,\partial\Omega,\beta)\), where
It is easy to prove that \(H_{q}(\beta,\partial\Omega ,\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R}))\) forms a Banach space.
For any \({F,K}\in{H_{q}(\beta,\partial\Omega, \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb {R}))}\), we have
3 Some properties of hypergenic quasi-Cauchy type integrals
Theorem 3.1
If \(y\notin{\partial\Omega}\), \(F(x)=(f_{1}(x),\ldots,f_{q}(x))\in {H_{q}(\beta,\partial\Omega, \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R}))}\),
is a hypergenic function vector on \({{\mathbb{R}}_{+}^{n+1}}\backslash {{\partial\Omega}}\), \(\Psi_{F}{(\infty)}=0\), and \(\Psi_{F}(y)\) is Hölder continuous on \(\Omega^{\pm}\cup\partial\Omega\).
Proof
It follows from \(F(x)=(f_{1}(x),\ldots,f_{q}(x))\in H_{q}(\beta ,\partial\Omega, \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R}))\) that \(f_{i}\in H_{q}(\beta ,\partial\Omega, \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R}))\) (\(i=1,\ldots,q\)). From Lemma 2.1, \(\Psi_{f_{i}}(y)\) (\(i=1,\ldots,q\)) is a hypergenic function on \(R^{n+1}_{+}\setminus\partial\Omega\). Hence \(\Psi_{F}(y)\) is a hypergenic function vector on \(R^{n+1}_{+}\setminus\partial\Omega\). By Lemma 2.2 and Remark 2.2 \(\Psi_{F}(y)\) is Hölder continuous on \(\Omega^{\pm}\cup \partial\Omega\). By Remark 2.1 we conclude \(\Psi_{f_{i}}{(\infty)}=0\) (\(i=1,\ldots,q\)), thus \(\Psi_{F}{(\infty)}=0\). □
Theorem 3.2
If \(y\in\partial\Omega_{,} F\in{H_{q}(\beta,\partial\Omega ,\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R})})\), then
From Lemma 2.4 we conclude to the following theorem.
Theorem 3.3
Lemma 3.1
([15])
If \(x,y\in\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\) (\(n\geq2\)), m (≥0) is an integer, then
where
Theorem 3.4
If \(y\in{\partial\Omega}\), \(F\in{H_{q}(\beta,\partial\Omega, \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R})})\), \(Q(y)= \frac{1}{2}F(y)-\Phi_{F}(y)\), then
Proof
Similar to Ref. [15], we have
where \(M_{3}\) is a positive constant.
From Theorem 3.2, Lemma 2.3 and Lemma 2.4, we get
So
Next we consider \(H_{q}(Q,\partial\Omega,\beta)\).
There is a ball with radius 3δ, centered at \(y^{1}\) when \(y^{1},y^{2}\in{\partial\Omega}\) and \(6\delta< d \), \(\delta= \vert y^{1}-y^{2} \vert \). Remark that \(\partial\Omega_{1}\) is located inside the ball and the rest of ∂Ω is \(\partial\Omega_{2}\).
From equality (9) and (1), we have
that is,
In a similar way, we have
that is,
Because \(x\in{\partial\Omega_{2}\setminus\lambda_{3\delta}}\), and \(y^{1},y^{2}\in\partial\Omega_{1}\), \(\vert \frac {x-y^{2}}{x-y^{1}} \vert ^{l+1}\) and \(\vert \frac {x-y^{1}}{x-y^{2}} \vert ^{l+1}\) (\(l=0,1,\ldots,n\)) are continuous on \(\partial\Omega_{2}\), there is a positive constant \(J_{16} \), such that
From inequality (1), the Hile lemma and inequality (15), we get
that is,
In a similar way, we have
Because \(\lim_{\delta\rightarrow0} {\frac {x-y^{2}}{ \vert {x-y^{2}} \vert ^{n+1} \vert {x-\widehat {y^{2}}} \vert ^{n-1}}}\) exists, there is a constant \(\delta_{2}>0\), when \(0<\delta<\delta_{2}\), such that
Hence
that is,
In a similar way, we have
From inequalities (14), (16), (17), (18) and (19), we have
From inequalities (12), (13) and (20), we have
So
From inequalities (11) and (21), we have \(\Vert {Q(y)} \Vert _{\beta}\leq(J_{8}+J_{30}) \Vert {F} \Vert _{\beta}=J_{31} \Vert {F} \Vert _{\beta}\). □
Remark 3.1
If \(y\in\partial\Omega\), \(F\in{H_{q}(\beta,\partial\Omega ,\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R})})\), then
Remark 3.2
If \(y\in\partial\Omega\), \(F\in{H_{q}(\beta,\partial\Omega ,\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R})})\), then
4 The existence of the solution to the nonlinear boundary value problem for the hypergenic function vector
Let \(A(y),B(y),G(y)\in{H_{q}(\beta,\partial\Omega, \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb {R})})\) be Hölder continuous function vectors on ∂Ω, we find a function vector \(\Psi_{F}^{*}(y)\), which is hypergenic on \(\Omega^{+} \cup\Omega^{-}\), and continuous on \(\Omega^{+}\cup \partial\Omega\) and \(\Omega^{-}\cup\partial\Omega\), satisfying \(\Psi_{F}^{*}(\infty)=0\), and the nonlinear boundary value condition:
where \(P(\Psi^{*+}_{F}(y),\Psi^{*-}_{F}(y))\) is a Hölder continuous function vector on ∂Ω which is related to \(\Psi^{*+}_{F}(y)\), \(\Psi^{*-}_{F}(y)\).
The above problem is called the nonlinear boundary value problem SR. If \(P=1\), then the above problem is called the linear boundary value problem SR.
By Theorem 3.1, \(\Psi_{F}(y)\) is hypergenic on \(\Omega^{+} \cup \Omega^{-}\), and \(\Psi_{F}(y)\) is continuous on \(\Omega^{+}\cup \partial\Omega\) and \(\Omega^{-}\cup\partial\Omega\), and \(\Psi_{ F}(\infty)=0\). If \(P(\Psi^{+}_{F}(y),\Psi^{-}_{F}(y))\) satisfies equality (23) under certain conditions, then \(\Psi_{F}(y)\) is a solution to the nonlinear boundary value problem SR.
Putting (10) into (23), we have
Let
and equality (23) is transformed into the following singular integral equation:
Theorem 4.1
If \(A(y),B(y),G(y)\in{H_{q}(\beta,\partial\Omega, \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb {R})})\), for any \(y^{1},y^{2}\in\partial\Omega\), \(P(\Psi^{+}_{F}(y), \Psi^{-}_{F}(y))\) satisfies
where \(J_{34}\) and \(J_{35}\) are positive constants independent of \(y^{i}\) (\(i=1,2\)) and F. If \(P(0,0)=0\), \(0<\gamma=J_{36}( \Vert {A+B} \Vert _{\beta}+ \Vert 1+A \Vert _{\beta})<1\), \(\Vert {G(y)} \Vert _{\beta}<\delta\), when \(0<\delta\leq{\frac{1-\gamma }{J_{3}J_{41}}}\), Problem SR has at least one solution and the integral expression of the solution is (8).
Proof
Let \(T=\{F\mid { \Vert F \Vert }_{\beta}\leq M_{4}\) and F is uniformly Hölder continuous on ∂Ω, that is, to say, there is a positive constant \({M_{2}}\), for any \({x_{1},x_{2}\in\partial\Omega}\), \({F}\in{H_{q}(\beta,\partial\Omega, \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R})})\), we have \(\vert F(x_{1})-F(x_{2}) \vert \leq{M_{2} \vert x_{1}-x_{2} \vert ^{\beta}}\}\). Obviously T is a convex subset of the continuous function vector space \(C_{q}(\partial\Omega)\).
-
(1)
We prove that N maps the set T to itself.
From inequality (7), Theorem 3.1 and Remark 3.2, it follows that
By inequality (27) and Remark 3.2, we have
So
By inequality (27) and Remark 3.2, we have
then
So
As \(\gamma=J_{35}( \Vert {A+B} \Vert _{\beta}+ \Vert 1+A \Vert _{\beta})<1\),
If F is uniformly Hölder continuous on ∂Ω, then \(\Phi_{F}(y)\), \(\Psi^{+}_{F}\), \(\Psi^{-}_{F}\) are uniformly Hölder continuous on ∂Ω. So NF is uniformly Hölder continuous on ∂Ω.
Hence N maps the set T to itself.
-
(2)
We prove that N is a continuous mapping.
Any \(F_{n}\in{T}\), \(\{F_{n}\}\) uniformly converges to F on ∂Ω. As for \(\varepsilon>0\), when n is fully large and \(\vert {F_{n}-F} \vert \) is sufficiently small. There is a ball with radius 3δ, centered at y when \(6\delta \langle d,\delta\rangle0\), and remark that \(\partial\Omega_{1}\) is located inside the ball and the rest of ∂Ω is \(\partial\Omega_{2}\)
By inequality (27), Theorem 3.3, we have
that is,
that is,
that is,
From inequality (33) and (34), we have
In a similar way, we get
From inequality (32), (35) and (36), we get
Select a sufficiently small positive number δ such that \(J_{51}\delta^{\beta}< {\frac{\varepsilon}{2}}\); and let n be large enough such that \(J_{52} \Vert F_{n}-F \Vert _{\beta}< {\frac{\varepsilon}{2}}\). So for any \({y}\in\partial\Omega\), we have \(\vert P(\Psi^{+}_{F_{n}}(y),\Psi^{-}_{F_{n}}(y))-P(\Psi ^{+}_{F}(y),\Psi^{-}_{F}(y)) \vert <\varepsilon\), thus \(\vert {NF_{n}(y)-NF(y)} \vert <\varepsilon\), then N is a continuous mapping which maps T to itself.
From the Arzela–Ascoli theorem we conclude that T is a compact set in \(\mathbf{C_{q}}(\partial\Omega)\). As the continuous mapping N maps the closed convex set T to itself, \(N(T)\) is compact in \(\mathbf {C_{q}}(\partial\Omega)\). From the Schauder fixed point principle it follows that there is at least \(F\in{H_{q}(\beta,\partial\Omega ,\mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb{R}))}\) that satisfies (26). Hence the nonlinear boundary value problem SR has at least one solution \(\Psi_{F}(y)\), and the expression of the solution is (8). □
5 The existence and uniqueness of the solution to the linear boundary value problem for the hypergenic function vector
Theorem 5.1
If \(A(y),B(y),G(y)\in{H_{q}(\beta,\partial\Omega, \mathit {Cl}_{n+1,0}(\mathbb {R})})\), when \(0<\gamma=J_{3}(J_{32}+ \frac{1}{2}) \Vert {A+B} \Vert _{\beta}+J_{3} \Vert {1+A} \Vert _{\beta}<1\), the linear boundary value problem SR has a unique solution.
Proof
Let T be as in Theorem 4.1. N is a continuous mapping which maps T to itself from Theorem 4.1.
From inequalities (7), (25) and Remark 3.1, we get
 □
There is only one solution to the equation \(NF = F \) by the compression mapping principle. So there is a unique solution to the linear boundary value problem SR, and the integral expression of the solution is (8).
6 Conclusions
In this paper, we prove the existence of the solution to the nonlinear boundary value problem for the hypergenic function vector by virtue of the Arzela–Ascoli theorem and prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the linear boundary value problem for the hypergenic function vector by the compression mapping principle.
