Theory of Pseudo-Differential Operators
In this chapter we present abrief description of the basic concepts and results of the theory of pseudo-differential operators - a modern theory of potentials - which will be used in the subsequent chapters. In recent years there has been a trend in the theory of partial differential equations towards constructive methods. The development of the theory of pseudo-differential operators has made possible such an approach to the study of elliptic differential operators. For detailed studies of pseudo-differential operators, the reader might be referred to Chazarain-Piriou [CP], Eskin [Es], Hörmander [H03], Kumano-go [Ku], Rempel-Schulze [RS], Schulze [Su] and Taylor [Ty].
5.1 Function Spaces
n be a
bounded domain of Euclidean space Rn with smooth boundary Its closure n = nu an is an n-dimensional, compact smooth manifold with boundary. We may assume that: Let
an.
(a) The domain n is a relatively compact, open subset of an n-dimensional compact smooth manifold M without boundary (see Fig. 5.1): (b) In a neighborhood W of an in M anormal coordinate t is chosen so that the points of Ware represented as (Xl, t), Xl E an, -1 < t < 1; t > 0 in n, t < 0 in M \ TI and t = 0 only on an (see Fig. 5.2). (c) The manifold M is equipped with a strictly positive density {L which, on W, is the product of a strict1y positive density w on an and the Lebesgue measure dt on (-1, 1). This manifold M is called the double of n. The function spaces we shall treat are the following (see Bergh-Löfström [BL], Calderon [Ca], Stein [Sn2], Taibleson [Tb], Triebel [Tr]): (i) The generalized Sobolev spaces H·,p(n) and H',P(M), consisting of all potentials of order S of LP functions. When s is integral, these spaces coincide with the usual Sobolev spaces w·,p(n) and W"P(M), respectively.

(ii) The Besov spaces BS,p(a.n). These are functions spaces defined in terms of the V modulus of continuity, and enter naturally in connection with boundary value problems.
