Abstract

In this paper, we investigate boundary data smoothness for solutions of the nonlocal boundary value problem, $y^{(n)}=f(x,y,y',\ldots,y^{(n-1)}),y^{(i)}(x_j)=y_{ij}$ and $y^{(i)}(x_k)-\sum_{p=1}^m r_{ip}y(\eta_{ip})=y_{ik}.$ Essentially, we show under certain conditions that partial derivatives of the solution to the problem above exist with respect to boundary conditions and solve the associated variational equation. Lastly, we provide a corollary and nontrivial example.
