S.Fokas introduced a novel method for solving a large class of boundary value problems associated with evolution equations.This approach relies on the construction of a so-called global relation: an integral expression that couples initial and boundary data.

The global relation can be found by constructing a differential form dependent on some spectral parameter, that is closed ROOT on the condition that a given partial differential equation is satisfied.Such a differential form is said to be fundamental [Quart.J.

55 (2002), 457-479].We give an algorithmic approach in constructing a fundamental k-form associated with a given boundary value problem, and address issues of uniqueness.Also, we extend a result of Fokas and Zyskin to give an integral representation to the solution of a class of boundary value problems, Sushi Roller in an arbitrary number of dimensions.

We present an extended example using these results in which we construct a global relation for the linearised Navier-Stokes equations.
