Elliptic boundary value problems of fluid dynamics over unbounded domains (Q4944242)

The authors modify the usual \(T\)-operator of Clifford analysis \[ Tf(y) = \int_{\Omega} G(x - y)f(x) d\Omega_x \] with the Cauchy kernel \(G(x)\) by using instead of \(G(x - y)\) the difference \(G(x - y) - G(x - z)\) with a point \(z\) lying together with a small circle around \(z\) outside the unbounded domain \(\Omega\). For this modified operator they prove boundedness, continuity, Borel-Pompeiu formula, Plemelj-Sochotski formula and further necessary properties. This is applied to prove the unique solvability of the boundary value problem for the Stokes equation, for the stationary Navier-Stokes equation, and the stream problem with free convection, always in suitable function spaces.
