Analysis of some localized boundary-domain integral equations

Some direct segregated localized boundary-domain integral equation (LBDIE) systems associated with the Dirichlet and Neumann boundary value problems (BVP) for a scalar "Laplace" PDE with variable coefficient are formulated and analysed. The parametrix is localized by multiplication with a radial localizing function. Mapping and jump properties of surface and volume integral potentials based on a localized parametrix and constituting the LBDIE systems are studied in a scale of Sobolev (Bessel potential) spaces. The main results established in the paper are the LBDIEs equivalence to the original variable-coefficient BVPs and the invertibility of the LBDIE operators in the corresponding Sobolev spaces

About analysis of some localized boundary-domain integral equations for a variable-coefficient BVPs

Some direct localized boundary-domain integral equations (LBDIEs) associated with the Dirichlet and Neumann boundary value problems for the "Laplace" linear differential equation with a variable coefficient are formulated. The LBDIEs are based on a parametrix localized by a cut-off function. Applying the theory of pseudo-differential operators, invertibility of the localized volume potentials is proved first. This allows then to prove solvability, solution uniqueness and equivalence of the LBDIEs to the original BVP, and investigate the LBDIE operator invertibility in appropriate Sobolev spaces

Copyright @ 2010 Walter de Gruyter GmbHSome modified direct localized boundary-domain integral equations (LBDIEs) systems associated with the mixed boundary value problem (BVP) for a scalar “Laplace” PDE with variable coefficient are formulated and analyzed. The main results established in the paper are the LBDIEs equivalence to the original variable-coefficient BVPs and the invertibility of the corresponding localized boundary-domain integral operators in appropriately chosen function spaces

Localized direct segregated boundary-domain integral equations for variable-coefficient transmission problems with interface crack

The full text of the published article can be accessed at the link belowSome transmission problems for scalar second order elliptic partial differential equations are considered in a bounded composite domain consisting of adjacent anisotropic subdomains having a common interface surface. The matrix of coefficients of the differential operator has a jump across the interface but in each of the adjacent subdomains is represented as the product of a constant matrix by a smooth variable scalar function. The Dirichlet or mixed type boundary conditions are prescribed on the exterior boundary of the composite domain, the Neumann conditions on the the interface crack surfaces and the transmission conditions on the rest of the interface. Employing the parametrix-based localized potential method, the transmission problems are reduced to the localized boundary-domain integral equations. The corresponding localized boundary-domain integral operators are investigated and their invertibility in appropriate function spaces is proved.This research was supported by EPSRC grant No. EP/H020497/1 and partly by the Georgian Technical University gran

Analysis of segregated boundary-domain integral equations for mixed variable-coefficient BVPs in exterior domains

This is the post-print version of the Article. The official published version can be accessed from the link below - Copyright @ 2011 Birkhäuser Boston.Some direct segregated systems of boundary–domain integral equations (LBDIEs) associated with the mixed boundary value problems for scalar PDEs with variable coefficients in exterior domains are formulated and analyzed in the paper. The LBDIE equivalence to the original boundary value problems and the invertibility of the corresponding boundary–domain integral operators are proved in weighted Sobolev spaces suitable for exterior domains. This extends the results obtained by the authors for interior domains in non-weighted Sobolev spaces.The work was supported by the grant EP/H020497/1 ”Mathematical analysis of localised boundary-domain integral equations for BVPs with variable coefficients” of the EPSRC, UK
