A \"Calder\\'on-Zygmund\" theory is developed for the boundedness of layer potentials, whereby sharp $L^p$ and endpoint space bounds are deduced from $L^2$ bounds. Appropriate versions of the classical \"jump-relation\" formulae are also derived. The method of layer potentials is then used to establish well-posedness of boundary value problems for $L$ with data in $L^p$ and endpoint spaces.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-11-19T15:40:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35J25", "58J32", "31B10", "31B15", "31A10", "45B05", "47G10", "78A30" ], "keywords": [ "layer potentials", "elliptic operators", "endpoint space bounds", "lipschitz graph domain", "satisfy interior estimates" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 37, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1311.4783H" } } }
