Solving some problems for systems of linear ordinary differential equations with redundant conditions

Numerical methods are proposed for solving some problems for a system of linear ordinary differential equations in which the basic conditions (which are generally nonlocal ones specified by a Stieltjes integral) are supplemented with redundant (possibly nonlocal) conditions. The system of equations is considered on a finite or infinite interval. The problem of solving the inhomogeneous system of equations and a nonlinear eigenvalue problem are considered. Additionally, the special case of a self-adjoint eigenvalue problem for a Hamiltonian system is addressed. In the general case, these problems have no solutions. A principle for constructing an auxiliary system that replaces the original one and is normally consistent with all specified conditions is proposed. For each problem, a numerical method for solving the corresponding auxiliary problem is described. The method is numerically stable if so is the constructed auxiliary problem.
