Before going further, problem (25) with coefficients subject to condi-

This result is a corollary to the next lem1na with tpi =Yi involved.
Lemma. For the solution of problen1 (25) with coefficients subject
to conditions (22) and the right part F, = D; <pi, i = 1, 2, ... , N - 1, the
estimate is valid:
(31) llYc < lllfc ·
Proof In the case D; = 0 the estimate is obvious, since Yi = 0 due to
Corollary 2 to Theorem 1. By relating D; > 0 at least at one point we have
occasion to use the function Y; > 0, being a solution to the problem
