Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper considers some initial boundary value problems for the heat equation in a bounded segment with a piecewise constant coefficient. Using the method of separation of variables, the problem under consideration is reduced to a spectral problem and eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the resulting spectral problem are found. It is shown that the system of eigenfunctions forms a Riesz basis. Next, we prove a theorem on the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the initial-boundary value problems under consideration.
