Regular and Singular Boundary Problems in Maple

Abstract: We describe a new Maple package for treating boundary problems for linear ordinary differential equations, allowing two-/multipoint as well as Stieltjes boundary conditions. For expressing differential operators, boundary conditions, and Green's operators, we employ the algebra of integro-differential operators. The operations implemented for regular boundary problems include computing Green's operators as well as composing and factoring boundary problems. Our symbolic approach to singular boundary problems is new; it provides algorithms for computing compatibility conditions and generalized Green's operators.
