Abstract

A general (not necessarily local) boundary value problem is considered for an elliptic [l×l l \times l] system on the plane of [ n]th order containing only leading terms with constant coefficients. By a method of function theory developed for elliptic [s×s s \times s] systems of first order [ΦyJΦx=0\displaystyle \frac{\partial \Phi}{\partial y} - J\frac{\partial \Phi}{\partial x} = 0] with a constant triangular matrix [J=(Jij)1s J = (J_{ij})^s_1], [ImJii>0 \operatorname{Im} J_{ii} > 0]; this problem is reduced to an equivalent system of integrofunctional equations on the boundary. In particular, a criterion that the problem be Noetherian and a formula for its index are obtained in this way. All considerations are carried out in the smooth case when the boundary of the domain has no corner points, while the boundary operators act in spaces of continuous functions.

The role played by explicit formulas for solving boundary value problems for elliptic equations and systems is well known. In this paper, explicit formulas for a general solution of the Dirichlet problem for second-order elliptic systems in the unit disk are given. In addition, an iterative method for solving this problem for systems with respect to two unknown functions is described, and an integral representation of the Poisson type is obtained by applying this method.

For the Lamé system from the flat anisotropic theory of elasticity, we introduce generalized double-layer potentials in connection with the function-theory approach. These potentials are built both for the translation vector (the solution of the Lamé system) and for the adjoint vector functions describing the stress tensor. The integral representation of these solutions is obtained using the potentials. As a corollary, the first and the second boundary-value problems in various spaces (Hölder, Hardy, and the class of functions just continuous in a closed domain) are reduced to the equivalent system of the Fredholm boundary equations in corresponding spaces. Note that such an approach was developed in [19, 20] for common second-order elliptic systems with constant (higher-order only) coefficients. However, due to important applications, it makes sense to consider this approach in detail directly for the Lamé system. To illustrate these results, in the last two sections we consider the Dirichlet problem with piecewise-constant Lamé coefficients when contact conditions are given on the boundary between two media. This problem is reduced to the equivalent system of the Fredholm boundary equations. The smoothness of kernels of the obtained integral operators is investigated in detail depending on the smoothness of the boundary contours.

This system is the following: ...

We consider the Riemann–Hilbert-type boundary-value problems in the case of several unknown functions and obtain solvability conditions and index formulas for the linear conjugation problem, the Riemann–Hilbert problem, and the Riemann–Hilbert–Poincaré problem on a plane cut along several regular arcs in various weighted functional classes. We also examine the general differential boundary-value problem for analytic functions and boundary-value problems with shifts and complex conjugation on a cut plane.

The paper considers the Riemann boundary value problem in the half-plane in the space Lp(ρ), where weight function ρ(x) has infinite number of zeros. A necessary and sufficient condition is obtained for the normal solvability and Noetherianness of the considered problem. If the problem is solvable, solutions are represented in an explicit form.

The Dirichlet problem for sixth order improperly elliptic equation is considered. The functional class of boundary functions, where this problem is normally solvable is determined. If the roots of the characteristic equation satisfy some conditions, the number of linearly independent solutions of homogeneous problem and the number of linearly independent solvability conditions of in-homogeneous problem are obtained. Solutions of homogeneous problem and solvability conditions of in-homogeneous problem are obtained in explicit form.

We considered an elliptic second order system on the plane consisting of two equations with constant (and only leading) coefficients. An explicit representation of the general solution of this system is given via the so-called J-analytic functions. A classification of systems with respect to the Dirichlet problem is given. Explicit expressions for the generalized potentials of a double layer are derived and their applications to solution of the Dirichlet problem are described. The results are illustrated by the example of the Lamé system of plane elasticity theory.

A solution of the Dirichlet problem for an elliptic systemof equations with constant coefficients and simple complex characteristics in the plane is expressed as a double-layer potential. The boundary-value problem is solved in a bounded simply connected domain with Lyapunov boundary under the assumption that the Lopatinskii condition holds. It is shown how this representation is modified in the case of multiple roots of the characteristic equation. The boundary-value problem is reduced to a system of Fredholm equations of the second kind. For a Hölder boundary, the differential properties of the solution are studied.

Second order elliptic systems with constant leading coefficients are considered. It is shown that the Bitsadze definition of weakly connected elliptic systems is equivalent to the known Shapiro–Lopatinskiy condition with respect to the Dirichlet problem for weakly connected elliptic systems. An analogue of potentials of double layer for these systems is introduced in the frame of functional theoretic approach. With the help of these potentials all solutions are described in the Holder Cμ(D) {C}^{\mu}\left(\overline{D}\right) and Hardy hp(D) {h}^p\left(\overline{D}\right) classes as well as in the class C(D) C\left(\overline{D}\right) of all continuous functions.

We consider second-order elliptic systems on the plane with constant (and only leading) matrix coefficients. We show that for these systems the notion of being weakly coupled (in the sense of A.V. Bitsadze) is equivalent to the well-known complementarity condition for the Dirichlet problem. In the framework of the function theoretic approach, we introduce analogs of double-layer potentials for solutions of weakly coupled systems. By using these potentials, we obtain a complete description of solutions of weakly elliptic systems in Hölder classes as well as in the Hardy classes h p (D) and C(Dˉ)C\left( {\bar D} \right) .

A general boundary value problem, encompassing from a unified viewpoint a broad circle of local and nonlocal boundary value problems, is studied for elliptic systems with real, constant (and only leading) matrix coefficients. A method is given for the equivalent reduction of this problem to a system of boundary equations. The considerations are carried out in domains with piecewise smooth boundaries and in weighted spaces. A Noetherian criterion and an index formula for this problem are established, and the asymptotics of its solution in a neighborhood of corner points is described.

We consider boundary-value problems in the upper half-plane for second-order elliptic systems with constant higher coefficients. Using the Bitsadze transformation, we reduce these problems to equivalent problems for analytic functions. This approach enables us to obtain explicit formulae for the solutions of basic boundary-value problems and to study the Fredholm solubility of these problems. (In particular, we obtain an analytic expression for the index.) We work in weighted Hölder and Hardy spaces.

We consider boundary-value problems for general elliptic systems in a bounded multiply connected domain with a smooth boundary in the plane. This includes boundary-value problems for homogeneous elliptic systems and for systems elliptic in the sense of Petrovskii or Douglis-Nirenberg. The systems under consideration need not be properly elliptic. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the system to be Noetherian and give index formulae with applications to geometry and hydrodynamics.
