A study of certain boundary properties of solutions of the equation \(\Delta u-c^ 2u=0\) in the half plane (Q1065260)

The authors present boundary estimates of the solutions to the Dirichlet and Neumann problem for the equation \(\Delta\) u-\(c^ 2u=0\) in the halfplace \(x>0\). Assuming that the function \(f\in L^ 1(R)\cap C(R)\) has the continuity modulus \(\omega\) (f;t)\(\leq \omega (t)\) for \(t>0\), where \(\omega\) is a function of the first order continuity modulus, they obtained that \[ \| u(x,\cdot)-f\|_{L^{\infty}(R)}\leq A\omega (t)+Bt\int^{\infty}_{t}(\omega (\xi)/\xi^ 2)d\quad \xi \] in the case \(u(0,\cdot)=f\), and \[ \| (\partial u/\partial x)(x,\cdot)- f\|_{L^{\infty}(R)}\leq A\omega (t)+Bt\int^{\infty}_{t}(\omega (\xi \quad)/\xi^ 2)d\xi \] in the case \(\partial u(0,\cdot)/\partial x=f\); here A and B are positive constants and \(t\geq x>0\). The authors considered also the inverse problem. Assuming that \(\| u(x,\cdot)- f\|_{L^{\infty}(R)}\leq \omega (x)\), they obtained for the continuity modulus of the function f the inequality \(\omega\) (f,t)\(\leq At\int^{\infty}_{t}(\omega (\xi)/\xi^ 2)d\xi\).
