Functional Analytic Properties of Multi-Layer Potentials and Boundary Value Problems

This chapter has a twofold goal. In a first stage, we shall study the Fredholm properties of multi-layer potentials introduced in earlier chapters, while in a second stage we shall proceed to use these results as a tool for establishing the well-posedness

Preface

Layer potentials constitute one of the most powerful tools in the treatment of boundary value problems associated with (elliptic and parabolic) partial differential equations (PDEs). They have been traditionally employed in the context of secondorder PDE, and one of the main goals of this monograph is to systematically develop a multilayer theory applicable to the higher-order setting.
