Quasi‐Lipschitz condition in potential theory (Q4667754)

The following boundary value problems are studied in the paper: 1) \(\text{rot\,}\vec v(x)=\vec j(x)\), \(\text{div\,}\vec v(x)= 0\), \(x\in\Omega\), \(\vec v\cdot\vec n|_S= 0\); 2) \(\text{rot\,}\vec v(x)= \vec j(x)\), \(\text{div\,}\vec v(x)= g(x)\), \(x\in\Omega\), \(\vec v\cdot\vec n|_S= 0\), when \(\text{rot\,}\vec v(x)\) is given. The first boundary value problem gives the velocity field when \(\text{div\,}v(x)= 0\), (incompressible case), the second one, when \(\text{div\,}\vec v(x)\neq 0\) (compressible case), where \(\Omega\) -- a bounded, simply or multiply connected domain from \(\mathbb R^3\), \(S\in C^{2+\alpha}\), \(\alpha\in (0,1)\), \(\vec n(x)\) -- the exterior normal to \(S\). When \(\Omega\) is a multiply connected domain, \(S\) consists in \(S_0\), the exterior boundary of the domain and \(S_k\), \(k= 1,\dots, n\), the interior boundaries of the domain. In the latter case, the following compatibility condition must be added: \(\int_S\vec j\cdot\vec n\,dS= 0\). The authors solve these problems using an unitary point of view, inspired by N. S. Günther's famous book ``Theory of potentials\dots''. They give in four theorems the solutions of the above boundary value problems in representation forms and, also, some of their properties, as inequalities. Some of these inequalities are similar to the Lipschitz condition. For this reason, they entitled their paper: ``Quasi-Lipschitz condition\dots''. The case of the half-space, when \(\Omega\) is unbounded, is also studied and, in this case, the kernels of all potentials entering in the solutions can be explicitely calculated. In the last part of the paper there are considered the movements in multiply-connected domains and the solutions are given in similar forms as in simply-connected domains.
