Introduction

The polyharmonic equation is an important representative of linear elliptic higher order partial differential equations. The solvability conditions for the Dirichlet (cf., for example, [1, 2]) and Neumann (cf., for example, [3]–[5]) problems for the polyharmonic equation are studied in the classical theory of boundary value problems for elliptic equations satisfying the complementarity condition. A more general boundary value problem for the polyharmonic equation was considered in [6], where the boundary conditions contain higher degree polynomials of normal derivatives. The solvability theorem and a representation formula for the solution were obtained there. Solvability conditions for boundary value problems for the polyharmonic equation in the ball with normal derivatives in the boundary conditions were also studied in [7]. In the cited works, the solvability conditions are formulated as the orthogonality conditions for some vector-valued functions depending on the data of the problem or the equality of ranks of higher order special matrices. To determine under what boundary conditions a particular problem is solvable, complicated calculations are required. In this paper, we study a class of boundary value problems which is a natural generalization of the classical Neumann problem for the polyharmonic equation [3]. Therefore, it is reasonable to find easily verifiable solvability conditions. This paper is devoted to obtaining such solvability conditions for Neumann type problems. Section 2 contains auxiliary notions and assertions (Lemmas 2.1 and 2.2) necessary to formulate and prove the main result presented by Theorem 3.1. In Section 4, we provide illustrative examples.
