Abstract |
|
We show that operators of layer potential type on surfaces that are locally graphs of Lipschitz functions with gradients in vmo are equal, modulo compacts, to pseudodifferential operators (with rough symbols), for which a symbol calculus is available. We build further on the calculus of operators whose symbols have coefficients in vmo, and apply these results to elliptic boundary problems on domains with such boundaries, which in turn we identify with the class of Lipschitz domains with normals in vmo. This work simultaneously extends and refines classical work of Fabes, Jodeit and Rivière, and also work of Lewis, Salvaggi and Sisto, in the context of surfaces. |
