Elliptic Boundary Value Problems with Fractional Regularity Data: The First Order Approach

In this monograph the authors study the well-posedness of boundary value problems of Dirichlet and Neumann type for elliptic systems on the upper half-space with coefficients independent of the transversal variable and with boundary data in fractional Hardy-Sobolev and Besov spaces. The authors use the so-called “"first order approach” which uses minimal assumptions on the coefficients and thus allows for complex coefficients and for systems of equations.

This self-contained exposition of the first order approach offers new results with detailed proofs in a clear and accessible way and will become a valuable reference for graduate students and researchers working in partial differential equations and harmonic analysis.
