Analysis of Segregated Boundary-Domain Integral Equations for Variable-Coefficient Dirichlet and Neumann Problems with General Data
Abstract
Segregated direct boundary-domain integral equations (BDIEs) based on a parametrix and associated with the Dirichlet and Neumann boundary value problems for the linear stationary diffusion partial differential equation with a variable coefficient are formulated. The PDE right hand sides belong to the Sobolev space H-1() or H-1(), when neither classical nor canonical co-normal derivatives are well defined. Equivalence of the BDIEs to the original BVP, BDIE solvability, solution uniqueness/non-uniqueness, and as well as Fredholm property and invertibility of the BDIE operators are analysed in Sobolev (Bessel potential) spaces. It is shown that the BDIE operators for the Neumann BVP are not invertible, and appropriate finite-dimensional perturbations are constructed leading to invertibility of the perturbed operators.
