We consider the following boundary value problems: \[ Au(x)= \sum_{| \alpha |\leq 2} a_\alpha(x) \partial^\alpha_x u(x)=f(x),\;x\in M, \] \[ Bu(x)= \sum_{| \alpha |\leq m} b_\alpha(x) \partial^\alpha_x u(x)=g(x),\;x\in\partial M. \] Here \(M\) is a bounded region in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) with smooth corner \(\Gamma\) on the boundary \(\partial M\). This means that each point \(x\in\Gamma\) has a neighbourhood in \(M\), which is diffeomorphic to \(Q\times \mathbb{R}^{n-2}\), where \(Q\) is a plane angle of some magnitude \(\varphi(x) <\pi\) or \(\varphi(x) >\pi\). We assume that \(A\) is an elliptic operator, \(a_\alpha(x)\) and \(b_\alpha(x)\) are complex valued functions, and the Shapiro-Lopatinsky condition holds on \(\partial M\backslash\Gamma\). We suppose \(u\in H^s(M)\), \(f\in H^{s-2} (M)\), and \(g\in H^{s-m- {1\over 2}} (\partial M\backslash \Gamma)\), where \(s>m+1/2\). Our main question is: when is this problem Fredholm? For the entire collection see [Zbl 0863.00037].
