Ill-posed internal boundary value problems for the biharmonic equation (Q1411139)

The book deals with the problem of determining the solution of the biharmonic equation in a plane domain if data are given on two manifolds. One of these manifolds is a part or the whole of the boundary of the domain and the other manifold is situated inside the domain. Depending on the data one imposes on the two manifolds (the values of the function, the values of the normal derivative or both the value of the function and normal derivative on a part of the boundary), one encounters the first, second or third boundary value problem. In Chapter 1 the author studies the first internal boundary value problem in a disk, a half-strip, a half-plane, a rectangle and a star-like domain. Considering the integral representation of the solution, one obtains a system of ill-posed Fredholm integral equations. Then one considers the conditionally well-posedness, the regularization method and the construction of approximate solutions. Similarly in Chapters 2 and 3 one studies the second and third problem for a convex domain, the half-plane and the rectangle. Chapter 4 deals with some abstract variants of these three problems and the Cauchy problem in Hilbert spaces. In this monograph the author introduces the new notion of complete solvability.
