On the existence of solutions to nonlinear systems of higher order Poisson type

Abstract

In this paper, we study the existence of higher order Poisson type systems. In detail, we prove a Residue type phenomenon for the fundamental solution of Laplacian in $\RR^n, n\ge 3$. This is analogous to the Residue theorem for the Cauchy kernel in $\CC$. With the aid of the Residue type formula for the fundamental solution, we derive the higher order derivative formula for the Newtonian potential and obtain its appropriate $\s C^{k, \alpha}$ estimates. The existence of solutions to higher order Poisson type nonlinear systems is concluded as an application of the fixed point theorem.
