In modern conditions, the interdisciplinary of comparative research requires an expansion of the framework of this approach, their orientations to results of new disciplines taking into account electronic means of the analysis and assessment of data with the prospect of moving from interdisciplinarity to transdisciplinarity. The interdisciplinarity in comparative research is studied in the works of foreign and domestic scientists.

  • Layer Potentials for General Linear Elliptic Systems 1
    Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, Vol. 2017 (2017), No. 309, pp. 1{23. ISSN: 1072-6691. URL: http://ejde.math.txstate.edu or http://ejde.math.unt.edu LAYER POTENTIALS FOR GENERAL LINEAR ELLIPTIC SYSTEMS ARIEL BARTON Abstract. In this article we construct layer potentials for elliptic differential operators using the Babuˇska-Lax-Milgram theorem, without recourse to the fundamental solution; this allows layer potentials to be constructed in very general settings. We then generalize several well known properties of layer potentials for harmonic and second order equations, in particular the Green's formula, jump relations, adjoint relations, and Verchota's equivalence between well-posedness of boundary value problems and invertibility of layer potentials. 1. Introduction There is by now a very rich theory of boundary value problems for the Laplace operator, and more generally for second order divergence form operators − div Ar. The Dirichlet problem − div Aru = 0 in Ω; u = f on @Ω; kukX ≤ CkfkD and the Neumann problem − div Aru = 0 in Ω; ν · Aru = g on @Ω; kukX ≤ CkgkN are known to be well-posed for many classes of coefficients A and domains Ω, and with solutions in many spaces X and boundary data in many boundary spaces D and N. A great deal of current research consists in extending these well posedness results to more general situations, such as operators of order 2m ≥ 4 (for example, [19, 25, 45, 47, 53, 54]; see also the survey paper [22]), operators with lower order terms (for example, [24, 30, 34, 55, 62]) and operators acting on functions defined on manifolds (for example, [46, 50, 51]).
