It is shown by operational method that the boundary value problem of the theory of elasticity related to stresses, which can be reduced to three strains compatibility equations and to three equilibrium equations, in fact is of sixth order. Hence, one do not have to formulate additional boundary conditions.
Key words: theory of elasticity, compatibility equations, operator method.
