A limiting case of a theorem of C. Miranda for layer potentials in Schauder spaces

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to prove a theorem of C.~Miranda for the single and double layer potential corresponding to the fundamental solution of a second order differential operator with constant coefficients in Schauder spaces in the limiting case in which the open set is of class $C^{m,1}$ and the densities are of class $C^{m-1,1}$ for the single layer potential and of class $C^{m,1}$ for the double layer potential for some nonzero natural number $m$. The treatment of the limiting case requires generalized Schauder spaces.
