The Refined Sobolev Scale, Interpolation, and Elliptic Problems

The paper gives a detailed survey of recent results on elliptic problems in Hilbert spaces of generalized smoothness. The latter are the isotropic H\"ormander spaces $H^{s,\varphi}:=B_{2,\mu}$, with $\mu(\xi)=^{s}\varphi()$ for $\xi\in\mathbb{R}^{n}$. They are parametrized by both the real number $s$ and the positive function $\varphi$ varying slowly at $+\infty$ in the Karamata sense. These spaces form the refined Sobolev scale, which is much finer than the Sobolev scale ${H^{s}}\equiv{H^{s,1}}$ and is closed with respect to the interpolation with a function parameter. The Fredholm property of elliptic operators and elliptic boundary-value problems is preserved for this new scale. Theorems of various type about a solvability of elliptic problems are given. A local refined smoothness is investigated for solutions to elliptic equations. New sufficient conditions for the solutions to have continuous derivatives are found. Some applications to the spectral theory of elliptic operators are given.Comment: 69 page

Parameter-dependent one-dimensional boundary-value problems in Sobolev spaces

We consider the most general class of linear boundary-value problems for higher-order ordinary differential systems whose solutions and right-hand sides belong to the corresponding Sobolev spaces. For parameter-dependent problems from this class, we obtain a constructive criterion under which their solutions are continuous in the Sobolev space with respect to the parameter. We also obtain a two-sided estimate for the degree of convergence of these solutions to the solution of the nonperturbed problem. These results are applied to a new broad class of parameter-dependent multipoint boundary-value problems.Comment: 13 page

Continuity in a parameter of solutions to generic boundary-value problems

We introduce the most general class of linear boundary-value problems for systems of first-order ordinary differential equations whose solutions belong to the complex H\"older space $C^{n+1,\alpha}$, with $0\leq n\in\mathbb{Z}$ and $0\leq\alpha\leq1$. The boundary conditions can contain derivatives $y^{(r)}$, with $1\leq r\leq n+1$, of the solution $y$ to the system. For parameter-dependent problems from this class, we obtain constructive criterion under which their solutions are continuous in the normed space $C^{n+1,\alpha}$ with respect to the parameter.Comment: 15 page
