Oblique Derivative Problems for Elliptic Equations in Conical Domains (eBook)

The aim of our book is the investigation of the behavior of strong and weak solutions to the regular oblique derivative problems for second order elliptic equations, linear and quasi-linear, in the neighborhood of the boundary singularities. The main goal is to establish the precise exponent of the solution decrease rate and under the best possible conditions. The question on the behavior of solutions of elliptic boundary value problems near boundary singularities is of great importance for its many applications, e.g., in hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, fracture mechanics, in the geodesy etc. Only few works are devoted to the regular oblique derivative problems for second order elliptic equations in non-smooth domains. All results are given with complete proofs. The monograph will be of interest to graduate students and specialists in elliptic boundary value problems and their applications.

?Professor Mikhail Borsuk is a well-known specialist in nonlinear boundary value problems for elliptic equations in non-smooth domains. He is a student-follower of eminent mathematicians Y. B. Lopatinskiy and V. A. Kondratiev. He graduated at the Steklov Mathematical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow) for his postgraduate studies and then worked at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and at the Central Aero?ydrodynamic Institute of Professor N. E. Zhukovskiy. Currently he is professor emeritus at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn (Poland), here he worked for more than 20 years. He has published 3 monographs, 2 textbooks for students and about 80 scientific articles.
