The Cauchy problem for a system of equations in the theory of elasticity and thermoelasticity in space (Q2387081)

The author deals with the equations of elasticity theory in the vector form \[ \;\mu\triangle u(y)+(\lambda+\mu)\;\text{grad}\;\text{div} u(y)=0;\;u=(u_1;u_2;u_3),\;y\in D, \] where \(D\) is an unbounded simply connected domain in \(E^3\) with piecewise-smooth boundary, composed of the plane \(\Sigma:y_3=0\) and the smooth surface \(S\) lying in the half-space \(y_3>0\). The Cauchy data of the system on \(S\) are given as \[ u(y)=f(y),\;T(\partial_y,n)u(y)=g(y),\;y\in S, \] where \[ T(\partial_y,n)=\| T_{kj}(\partial_y,n)\| _{3\times 3}= \big\Arrowvert\lambda n_k\frac\partial{\partial y_j}+\mu n_j \frac\partial{\partial y_k}+ \mu\delta{kj}\frac \partial{\partial n}\big\Arrowvert_{3\times 3}. \] Using the results concerning the Cauchy problem for the Laplace equation, the author constructs the Carleman matrix in an explicit form, and on its base he finds the regularized solution to the system of elasticity equations. Analogous results are derived also for the thermoelasticity equations.
