Solvability of elliptic systems with square integrable boundary data

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider second order elliptic divergence form systems with complex measurable coefficients A that are independent of the transversal coordinate, and prove that the set of A for which the boundary value problem with L2 Dirichlet or Neumann data is well posed, is an open set. Furthermore we prove that these boundary value problems are well posed when A is either Hermitean, block or constant. Our methods apply to more general systems of PDEs and as an example we prove perturbation results for boundary value problems for differential forms.


The well-posedness of Dirichlet and Neumann boundary valued problems is studied for second order elliptic systems \[ \sum_{j,k=0}^n \sum_{\beta =1}^m \partial_j A_{j,k}^{\alpha, \beta}(x) \partial_k U^\beta(t,x)=0, \quad \alpha = 1, \dots, m, \] on half-spaces \(\mathbb R_\pm^{1+n} = \{ (t,x) \in\mathbb R\times\mathbb R^n\); \(\pm t > 0\}\), with \(n \geq 1\). The matrix \[ A = \big(A_{j,k}^{\alpha, \beta}(x)\big)_{j,k=0,\dots, n}^{\alpha,\beta=1,\dots, m} \in L_\infty \big(\mathbb R^n;{\mathcal L}(\mathbb C^{(1+n)m})\big) \] is \(t\)-independent, with complex entries, satisfying certain positivity properties. The authors give precise definitions of what is meant by well-posedness for the different types of boundary conditions, after which they prove that the matrices \(A\) for which the problems are well-posed form open sets in \( L_\infty (\mathbb R^n;{\mathcal L}(\mathbb C^{(1+n)m}))\). The results can be extended to more general systems as it is exemplified for boundary value problems for differential forms.
