On the classical and generalized solutions of boundary-value problems for difference-differential equations with variable coefficients

The first boundary-value problem for second-order difference-differential equations with variable coefficients on a finite interval (0, d) is considered. The following question is studied: Under what conditions will the boundary-value problem for a difference-differential equation have a classical solution for an arbitrary continuous right-hand side? It is proved that a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a classical solution is that certain coefficients of the difference operators on the orbits generated by the shifts be equal to zero. © 2013 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
