Layer potentials and Poisson problems for the nonsmooth coefficient Brinkman system in Sobolev and Besov spaces (Q1756639): Difference between revisions

The authors consider the Poisson problem with Dirichlet, Neumann and mixed boundary conditions for the Brinkman system with measurable coefficients in \(L^p\)-based Sobolev and Besov spaces in a Lipschitz subset of a compact Riemaniann manifold with no boundary of dimension \(m\geq 2\). The authors first treat the case with homogeneous boundary conditions and show that the problem is well posed for \(p=2\) and deduce that the problem is well posed for \(p\) close to \(p=2\) by exploiting a stability result for isomorphisms in function space interpolation scales. Then the authors consider the case with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. In the specific case \(p=2\) the authors can also prove a layer potential representation for the solutions by exploiting layer potentials that can be introduced as solutions of certain boundary value problems.
