what are boundary value problems?

Ans: A boundary value problem for a given differential equation consists of finding a solution to the given differential equation subject to a given set of boundary conditions. A boundary condition is a prescription of some combinations of values of the unknown solution and its derivatives at more than one point.

Adjoint forms, Lagrange identity:

In mathematical physics, many important boundary value problems are corresponding to second-order equations. In the studies of vibrations of a membrane, vibrations of a structure one has to solve a homogeneous boundary value problem for real frequencies (eigenvalues). As is well-known in the case of symmetric matrices that there are only real eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors form a basis for the underlying vector space and thereby all symmetric matrices are diagonalizable. Self-adjoint problems can be thought of as corresponding ODE versions of symmetric matrices, and they play an important role in mathematical physics.
