The asymptotic form of solutions of integral equations of potential theory in the neighbourhood of the corner points of a contour (Q1063202)

The authors consider integral equations of the theory of logarithmic potential on a closed piecewise-smooth contour. They obtain asymptotic representations for the solutions of the integral equations near corner points of the contour and formulas for the coefficients of these representations. In this connection results on the asymptotic form of the solutions of internal and external Dirichlet and Neumann problems are used. Only boundary value problems for harmonic functions of two variables are considered, but the scheme proposed is of a general form and can be applied to integral equations of other classical boundary value problems of mathematical physics.
