Elliptic solvability of augmented differential complexes on piecewise smooth manifolds (Q799007)

The authors study the problem of solvability of the differential complex \(H_ 1\to^{P}H_ 2\to^{C}H_ 3\), where \(H_ 1\), \(H_ 2\), \(H_ 3\) are some function spaces on a manifold with piecewise smooth boundary. The solvability corresponds to the condition \(R(P)=Ker(C)\) and the normal solvability corresponds to \(\dim [Ker(C)/R(P)]<\infty\). One known way to study this problem is to use functional analysis, by considering the adjoint complex \(H^*_ 3\to^{C^*}H^*_ 2\to^{P^*}H^*_ 1\). If P and C are differential polynomials, then the problem reduces to the study of a division problem. The authors solve this problem, with ''elliptic estimates''.
