Do you think this article should include a simpler description? I.e. it should mention the existence of solutions for familiar differential equations (R -> R, Vector equations...)

It would be nice if this article were to explain itself in simpler language. To someone without a degree in mathematics it is very difficult to understand. Can someone include practical examples and an account of the significance?218.208.222.135 03:47, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any reason that the conditions could not be written more succinctly as ${\begin{aligned}{\frac {\partial ^{m}u(x)}{\partial n^{m}}}&=f_{m}(x)\qquad &&{\text{for }}m=0,\ldots ,\kappa -1{\text{ and all }}x\in S,\end{aligned}}$ ? Dewa (talk) 00:56, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the greek kappa in the derivatives condition formula be rather n? Thasaidon (talk) 08:56, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
