Felix-Klein-Kolloquium: Boundary Value Problems with Rough Boundary Data
A typical example of a boundary value problem is given by
(λ− ∆)u = f in G,
u = g on ∂G,
where λ > 0 and G ⊂ Rn is a bounded and sufficiently smooth domain. For f ∈ L2(G), the natural solution space for u is the second-order Sobolev space H2(G). For the boundary data g, the canonical space is given by H3/2(∂G) – this is a Sobolev space of non-integer order, which indicates a connection to the theory of function spaces. If f ∈ Lp(G) for some p ∈ (1,∞), we get u ∈ Wp2(G), and the canonical boundary space is the Besov space of order 2 − 1/p.
In some applications, the boundary data are not smooth enough to apply the classical theory. This happens, for instance, if we have a stochastic force term on the boundary (boundary noise) and/or some dynamics on the boundary. For this, one has to generalize the trace map u 7→ u|∂G, including even Besov spaces of negative order for the boundary data. One can show unique solvability for a general class of boundary value problems and the generation of an analytic semigroup in the case of dynamic boundary conditions. Applications include the Bi-Laplacian with Wentzell boundary conditions, the linearized Cahn-Hilliard equation with dynamic boundary conditions, and coupled plate-membrane systems.
