Abstract
System dynamics is naturally expressed by means of differential equations. Despite their expressive power, they are difficult to reason about and to make decisions upon, given their nonβlinearity and the important effects that the uncertainty on data may cause. In contrast with traditional numerical simulations that may only provide a likelihood of the results obtained, we propose a constraint reasoning framework that enables safe decision support despite data uncertainty. The approach is illustrated in the tuning of drug design and in an epidemiological study. (Β© 2004 WILEYβVCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

The relationship between the measured adsorption isotherm and unknown energy distribution function is described by so-called adsorption integral equation, a linear Fredholm integral equation of the first kind. We consider the case of the Langmuir kernel when the equation can be reduced to the Stielt

A periodic boundary value problem for a special type of functional differential equations with impulses at fixed moments is studied. A comparison result is presented that allows to construct a sequence of approximate solutions and to give an existence result. Several particular cases are considered.
