The book is an attempt to bring together various topics in partial differential equations related to the Cauchy problem for solutions of an elliptic equation. Ever since Hadamard, the Cauchy problem for solutions of elliptic equations has been known to be ill-posed. It is conditionally stable, just as is the case for even the simplest problems of analytic continuation of functions given on a subset of the boundary. (Such problems of analytic continuation served as a paradigm for the treatment here.) The study of the Cauchy problem is carried out in three directions: determining the degree of instability, which is connected with sharp theorems on approximation by solutions of an elliptic equation; finding solvability conditions, which is based on the development of Hilbert space methods in the Cauchy problem; and reconstructing solutions via their Cauchy data, which requires efficient ways of approximation. A wide range of topics is touched upon, among them are function spaces on compact sets, boundedness theorems for pseudodifferential operators in nonlocal spaces, nonlinear capacity and removable singularities, fundamental solutions, capacitary criteria for approximation by solutions of elliptic equations, and weak boundary values of the solutions. The theory applies as well to the Cauchy problem for solution of overdetermined elliptic systems.

An analysis is presented which deals with a technique for approximating the solution to a Cauchy problem for a geneal second-order elliptic patil differential equation defined in an N-dimensional region D. The method is based upon the determination of an a priori bound for the value of an arbitrary function u at a point P in D in terms of the values of u and its gradient on the cauchy surface andA FUNCTIONAL OF THE ELLIPTIC OPERATOR APPLIED TO U.

In this thesis we study the Cauchy problem for elliptic equations. It arises in many areas of application in science and engineering as a problem of reconstruction of solutions to elliptic equations in a domain from boundary measurements taken on a part of the boundary of this domain. The Cauchy problem for elliptic equations is known to be ill-posed. We use an iterative regularization method based on alternatively solving a sequence of well-posed mixed boundary value problems for the same elliptic equation. This method, based on iterations between Dirichlet-Neumann and Neumann-Dirichlet mixed boundary value problems was first proposed by Kozlov and Maz’ya [13] for Laplace equation and Lame’ system but not Helmholtz-type equations. As a result different modifications of this original regularization method have been proposed in literature. We consider the Robin-Dirichlet iterative method proposed by Mpinganzima et.al [3] for the Cauchy problem for the Helmholtz equation in bounded domains. We demonstrate that the Robin-Dirichlet iterative procedure is convergent for second order elliptic equations with variable coefficients provided the parameter in the Robin condition is appropriately chosen. We further investigate the convergence of the Robin-Dirichlet iterative procedure for the Cauchy problem for the Helmholtz equation in a an unbounded domain. We derive and analyse the necessary conditions needed for the convergence of the procedure. In the numerical experiments, the precise behaviour of the procedure for different values of k2 in the Helmholtz equation is investigated and the results show that the speed of convergence depends on the choice of the Robin parameters, ?0 and ?1. In the unbounded domain case, the numerical experiments demonstrate that the procedure is convergent provided that the domain is truncated appropriately and the Robin parameters, ?0 and ?1 are also chosen appropriately.

This book is intended as a continuation of my book "Parametrix Method in the Theory of Differential Complexes" (see [291]). There, we considered complexes of differential operators between sections of vector bundles and we strived more than for details. Although there are many applications to for maximal generality overdetermined systems, such an approach left me with a certain feeling of dissat- faction, especially since a large number of interesting consequences can be obtained without a great effort. The present book is conceived as an attempt to shed some light on these new applications. We consider, as a rule, differential operators having a simple structure on open subsets of Rn. Currently, this area is not being investigated very actively, possibly because it is already very highly developed actively (cf. for example the book of Palamodov [213]). However, even in this (well studied) situation the general ideas from [291] allow us to obtain new results in the qualitative theory of differential equations and frequently in definitive form. The greater part of the material presented is related to applications of the L- rent series for a solution of a system of differential equations, which is a convenient way of writing the Green formula. The culminating application is an analog of the theorem of Vitushkin [303] for uniform and mean approximation by solutions of an elliptic system. Somewhat afield are several questions on ill-posedness, but the parametrix method enables us to obtain here a series of hitherto unknown facts.

Improperly posed Cauchy problems are the primary topics in this discussion which assumes that the geometry and coefficients of the equations are known precisely. Appropriate references are made to other classes of improperly posed problems. The contents include straight forward examples of methods eigenfunction, quasireversibility, logarithmic convexity, Lagrange identity, and weighted energy used in treating improperly posed Cauchy problems. The Cauchy problem for a class of second order operator equations is examined as is the question of determining explicit stability inequalities for solving the Cauchy problem for elliptic equations. Among other things, an example with improperly posed perturbed and unperturbed problems is discussed and concavity methods are used to investigate finite escape time for classes of operator equations.

An investigation is made of the representation of solutions of the axially-symmetric elliptic equations. The representations are derived by exploiting the connection between such equations and singular initial value problems for hyperbolic equations. The result is a correspondence between solutions of the elliptic equations and functions of a complex variable. Certain boundary-value problems for the elliptic equations are solved explicitly or semi-explicitly with the aid of these representations.

Most books on elliptic and parabolic equations emphasize existence and uniqueness of solutions. By contrast, this book focuses on the qualitative properties of solutions. In addition to the discussion of classical results for equations with smooth coefficients (Schauder estimates and the solvability of the Dirichlet problem for elliptic equations; the Dirichlet problem for the heat equation), the book describes properties of solutions to second order elliptic and parabolic equations with measurable coefficients near the boundary and at infinity. The book presents a fine elementary introduction to the theory of elliptic and parabolic equations of second order. The precise and clear exposition is suitable for graduate students as well as for research mathematicians who want to get acquainted with this area of the theory of partial differential equations.
