Sharp regularity theory for elastic and thermoelastic Kirchhoff equations with free boundary conditions (Q5928721)

The paper deals with a two-dimensional model of an elastic Kirchhoff equation with free boundary conditions. The authors used pseudo-differential technique, more precisely microlocal analysis technique, to obtain sharp trace and interior regularity results. Note that the equation under consideration does not satisfy Shapiro-Lopatinsky's conditions. The obtained results can be applied to exact controllability problems as well.
