Single and double layer potentials on domains with conical points. I: Straight cones (Q434294)

The paper is devoted to the analysis of single and double layer potentials in \textit{straight} cones. Via the Mellin transform, the authors start by presenting a reduction process for the study of layer potentials on cones to the study of a family of layer potential operators on the basis of the cone. Thus, the invertibility of the consequent layer potential operators on cones is established by reducing to the pointwise invertibility of a family of operators on the boundary of the basis of the cone. Additionally, such invertibility turns out to hold for a range of suitable weighted Sobolev spaces. Moreover, the structure of the layer potentials in terms of operator valued Mellin convolution operators is also determined.
