A weakly polyhomogeneous calculus for pseudodifferential boundary problems (Q5944721)

Parameter-dependent pseudodifferential operators are used in the study of resolvents of boundary value problems, in the construction of complex powers of operators and of solutions of time-dependent problems. Extending previous work of the author with R. Seeley on a calculus of weakly parametric pseudodifferential operators on closed manifolds to the case of manifolds with boundary, the author studies weakly polyhomogeneous singular Green operators, Poisson operators, traces operators associated with a manifold with boundary, as well as suitable transmission conditions for pseudodifferential operators. Full composition formulas are established for the calculus, which contain the resolvents of Atiyah-Patodi-Singer-type problems.
