LetLbe a second order linear partial differential operator of elliptic type on a domainΩofℝmwith coefficients inC∞(Ω). We consider the linear space of all solutions of the equationLu=0onΩwith the topology of uniform convergence on compact subsets and describe the topological dual of this space. It turns out that this dual may be identified with the space of solutions of an adjoint equation “near the boundary” modulo the solutions of this adjoint equation on the entire domain.

Let be a linear partial differential operator with C∞- coefficients. The study of P(∂) as an operator in L2(ℝn) usually starts with the investigation of the minimal operator P0 which is the closure of P(∂) acting on . In the case of constant coefficients it is known that the domain D(P0) of P0 at least contains the space (cf. Schechter [4, p. 58, Lemma 1.2]).

Let Ω be a domain in the (n + 1)-dimensional euclidian space Rn+1. A linear partial differential operator P with coefficients in C∞(Ω) (resp. in Cω(Ω)) will be termed hypoelliptic (resp. analytic-hypoelliptic) in Ω if a distribution u on Ω (i.e. u ∈ D′(Ω)) is an infinitely differentiable function (resp. an analytic function) in every open set of Ω where Pu is an infinitely differentiable function (resp. an analytic function).

Abstract Starting with a linear partial differential operator for a certain system of transition amplitudes associated to a state |a> with baryon number ρ(a) we derive an equation in the ρ(a)-sector of the Functional space which provides the state |a> with an effective potential caused by the polarization cloud. With regard to the needs of n-body scattering we then undertake a cluster decomposition of the effective potential. In particular, we derive the relativistic analoga of Lippmann-Schwinger-and Faddeev equations.

A codomain for a nonzero constant-coefficient linear partial differential operatorP(∂)with fundamental solutionEis a space of distributionsTfor which it is possible to define the convolutionE*Tand thus solving the equationP(∂)S=T. We identify codomains for the Cauchy-Riemann operator inℝ2and Laplace operator inℝ2. The convolution is understood in the sense of theS′-convolution.
