Lagrange's identity (boundary value problem)
In the study of ordinary differential equations and their associated boundary value problems in mathematics, Lagrange's identity, named after Joseph Louis Lagrange, gives the boundary terms arising from integration by parts of a self-adjoint linear differential operator. Lagrange's identity is fundamental in Sturm–Liouville theory.
