Variational and potential methods for a class of linear hyperbolic evolutionary processes.

In fact there is an analysis of the existence, uniqueness and integral representation of solutions for a class of initial-boundary value problems stated for hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations governing the nonstationary bending of elastic plates with transverse shear deformation. The study is carried out by means of Laplace transform, variational formulations and estimations for solution in corresponding Sobolev spaces. The steps are always the same. For each type of initial-boundary value problem one formulates the variational version of the model, examines the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution and possibly looks for an integral representation of it in terms of combinations of time-dependent single and double-layer potentials with densities satisfying nonstationary boundary integral equations. The main idea of proofs is to apply first Laplace transform to the time dependent model, study unique solvability of the new boundary value problem using again its variational formulation in distributional spaces of Laplace transforms, derive estimates and return back to spaces of originals and solution of original time dependent problem. Same steps are done to show the solvability of the associated time-dependent boundary integral equations. In Chap. 1 initial-boundary value problems and their nonstationary boundary integral equations are formulated, in Chap. 2--4 the authors concentrate on Dirichlet and Neumann boundary value conditions, Chap. 5 is devoted to transmission problems and multiply connected plates, Chap.~6 deals with plate seakened by a crack, Chap. 7 concentrates on mixed boundary conditions, Chap. 8 is devoted to the case of a plate that lies on a generalized elastic foundation and Chap. 9 considers nonhomogeneous equations with nonhomogeneous initial conditions. A short Appendix is dedicated to Laplace and Fourier transfom of distributions. The presentation is correct and clear.
