On regularity and extension of Green's operator on bounded smooth domains (Q438667): Difference between revisions

The paper under review deals with regularity and extension results for Green's operators associated to divergence form uniformly elliptic second order linear differential operators with \(C^{1,\alpha}(\overline{\Omega})\)-regular coefficients, where \(\alpha \in (0, 1)\) and \(\Omega \subset {\mathbb R}^{n},\) \(n \geq 3,\) is a bounded domain with \(C ^{2,\alpha}\)-smooth boundary. The regularity result gives boundary estimates for the derivatives of the associated Green function up to order \((2+\alpha).\) By means of that regularity result, the author extends the Green operator to a globally defined integral operator whose second order partial derivatives are Calderón-Zygmund singular integrals. Under reasonable a~priori assumptions, it is also shown that the \(C ^{2,\alpha}\)-regularity of the domain \(\Omega\) is necessary for the extension of the Green operator to a weakly singular integral operator belonging to the class \({\text{SK}}^{-2}_{{{\mathbb R}}^n}(\alpha).\)
