Abstract

We study the properties of the sequence of optimal constants in the conditions of unique solvability of the periodic boundary value problem for nth-order linear functional differential equations. These constants are expressed via the Euler-Bernoulli constants; simple recursion relations between them and relations with other known mathematical constants are derived.
