Preface

Efficiency of the Green’s function instrument is commonly recognized and as a result, its use is frequently recommended in the qualitative analysis of boundary value problems for ordinary as well as partial differential equations. Nowadays, this instrument has been transformed into a powerful investigative tool that has been around for almost two centuries since its introduction by a brilliant British mathematician and physicist, George Green. His elegant elaborations had revealed impressive constructive properties of Green’s functions. It would have been quite a misconception to presume that the realm of implementations of Green’s functions is
