Abstract The paper, “Analytic solutions for calcium ion fertilisation waves on the surface of eggs” by the current authors (this journal 2019), adopted an incorrect solution to Legendre’s equation that had been tabulated in a well known compendium of solutions of differential equations. The solution to the linear equation and the consequent solution of the considered nonlinear problem, are corrected here. The solution maintains the same character and the conclusions are the same. Numerical evaluations and graphic outputs have been modified.

Abstract There exists a variety of dynamical systems, possessing retarded actions, which are not entirely describable in terms of differential equations of a finite order. The differential equations of such systems are sometimes designated as hysterodifferential equations. An important particular case of such equations, encountered in practice, is when the original differential equation for unretarded quantities is a linear equation with constant coefficients and the time lags are constant. The characteristic equation, corresponding to the hysterodifferential equation for retarded quantities in such a case, has a series of subsequent high-derivative terms which generally converge. It is possible to develop a simple graphical interpretation for this equation. Such systems with retarded actions are capable of self-excitation. Self-excited oscillations of this character are generally undesirable in practice and it is to this phase of the subject that the present paper is devoted.

In a mixed problem one is required to find a solution of a system of partial differential equations when the values of certain combinations of the derivatives are given on two or more distinct intersecting surfaces. If the differential equations arise from some physical process, the correct boundary conditions are usually apparent. Many particular problems of this type have been solved by special methods such as separation of variables and the method of images. However, no general criterion has been given for what constitutes a correctly set mixed problem. In fact such problems have usually been formulated in connection with hyperbolic differential equations with data prescribed on two surfaces (called the initial and boundary surfaces).

N. Aronszajn introduced in [4] an abstract Frechét space R (0<R≤∞), which is isomorphic to the space of analytic solutions of the heat equation in if 0 < R ∞, and in if R = ∞, and called it the space of traces of analytic solutions of the heat equation. Hereafter, we call it the space of traces, shortly.
