Generalizing the Abel Theorem to higher order differential equations

let $$y''+p(t)y'+q(t)y=g(t)$$ then By the Abel theorem wronskian equals to : $$W= c e^{\int p(t)dt}$$ Now We want to generalise this to a 3...

"Taylor Series" analog for functionals?

For a function $f(x)$, it is possible to write it as a taylor series centered around a point $x=a$: $$f(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{f^{(n)}(a){(x-a)}^{n}}...
