Local and nonlocal boundary conditions for $μ$-transmission and fractional elliptic pseudodifferential operators (1403.7140v6)

Abstract: A classical pseudodifferential operator $P$ on $R^n$ satisfies the $\mu$-transmission condition relative to a smooth open subset $\Omega $, when the symbol terms have a certain twisted parity on the normal to $\partial\Omega $. As shown recently by the author, the condition assures solvability of Dirichlet-type boundary problems for elliptic $P$ in full scales of Sobolev spaces with a singularity $d^{\mu -k}$, $d(x)=\operatorname{dist}(x,\partial\Omega)$. Examples include fractional Laplacians $(-\Delta)^a$ and complex powers of strongly elliptic PDE. We now introduce new boundary conditions, of Neumann type or more general nonlocal. It is also shown how problems with data on $R^n\setminus \Omega $ reduce to problems supported on $\bar\Omega$, and how the so-called "large" solutions arise. Moreover, the results are extended to general function spaces $F^s_{p,q}$ and $B^s_{p,q}$, including H\"older-Zygmund spaces $B^s_{\infty ,\infty}$. This leads to optimal H\"older estimates, e.g. for Dirichlet solutions of $(-\Delta)^au=f\in L_\infty (\Omega)$, $u\in d^aC^a(\bar\Omega)$ when $0<a<1$, $a\ne 1/2$ (in $d^aC^{a-\epsilon}(\bar\Omega)$ when $a=1/2$).
