Logarithmic capacity and Riemann and Hilbert problems for generalized analytic functions

The study of the Dirichlet problem in the unit disk $\mathbb D$ with arbitrary measurable data for harmonic functions is due to the famous dissertation of Luzin [31]. Later on, the known monograph of Vekua \cite{Ve} has been devoted to boundary-value problems (only with H\"older continuous data) for the generalized analytic functions, i.e., continuous complex valued functions $h(z)$ of the complex variable $z=x+iy$ with generalized first partial derivatives by Sobolev satisfying equations of the form $\partial_{\bar z}h\, +\, ah\, +\ b{\overline h}\, =\, c\, ,$ where it was assumed that the complex valued functions $a,b$ and $c$ belong to the class $L^{p}$ with some $p>2$ in smooth enough domains $D$ in $\mathbb C$. The present paper is a natural continuation of our previous articles on the Riemann, Hilbert, Dirichlet, Poincar\'{e} and, in particular, Neumann boundary-value problems for quasiconformal, analytic, harmonic, and the so-called $A-$harmonic functions with boundary data that are measurable with respect to logarithmic capacity. Here, we extend the corresponding results to the generalized analytic functions $h:D\to\mathbb C$ with the sources $g$ : $\partial_{\bar z}h\ =\ g\in L^p$, $p>2\,$, and to generalized harmonic functions $U$ with sources $G$ : $\triangle\, U=G\in L^p$, $p>2\,$. This paper contains various theorems on the existence of nonclassical solutions of the Riemann and Hilbert boundary-value problems with arbitrary measurable (with respect to logarithmic capacity) data for generalized analytic functions with sources. Our approach is based on the geometric (theoretic-functional) interpretation of boundary-values in comparison with the classical operator approach in PDE. On this basis, it is established the corresponding existence theorems for the Poincar\'{e} problem on directional derivatives and, in particular, for the Neumann problem to the Poisson equations $\triangle\, U=G$ with arbitrary boundary data that are measurable with respect to logarithmic capacity. These results can be also applied to semi-linear equations of mathematical physics in anisotropic and inhomogeneous media.

The study of the Dirichlet problem with arbitrary measurable data for harmonic functions is due to the famous dissertation of Luzin. Later on, the known monograph of Vekua has been devoted to boundary value problems (only with H\"older continuous data) for the generalized analytic functions, i.e., continuous complex valued functions $h(z)$ of the complex variable $z=x+iy$ with generalized first partial derivatives by Sobolev satisfying equations of the form $\partial_{\bar z}h\, +\, ah\, +\ bh\, =\, c\, ,$ where $\partial_{\bar z}\ :=\ \frac{1}{2}\left(\ \frac{\partial}{\partial x}\ +\ i\cdot\frac{\partial}{\partial y}\ \right),$ and it was assumed that the complex valued functions $a,b$ and $c$ belong to the class $L^{p}$ with some $p>2$ in the corresponding domains $D\subset \mathbb C$. The present paper is a natural continuation of our articles on the Riemann, Hilbert, Dirichlet, Poincare and, in particular, Neumann boundary value problems for quasiconformal, analytic, harmonic and the so-called $A-$harmonic functions with boundary data that are measurable with respect to logarithmic capacity. Here we extend the correspon\-ding results to the generalized analytic functions $h:D\to\mathbb C$ with the sources $g$ : $\partial_{\bar z}h\ =\ g\in L^p$, $p>2\,$, and to generalized harmonic functions $U$ with sources $G$ : $\triangle\, U=G\in L^p$, $p>2\,$. It was also given relevant definitions and necessary references to the mentioned articles and comments on previous results. This paper contains various theorems on the existence of nonclassical solutions of the Riemann and Hilbert boundary value problems with arbitrary measurable (with respect to logarithmic capacity) data for generalized analytic functions with sources. Our approach is based on the geometric (theoretic-functional) interpretation of boundary values in comparison with the classical operator approach in PDE. On this basis, it is established the corresponding existence theorems for the Poincare problem on directional derivatives and, in particular, for the Neumann problem to the Poisson equations $\triangle\, U=G$ with arbitrary boundary data that are measurable with respect to logarithmic capacity. These results can be also applied to semi-linear equations of mathematical physics in anisotropic and inhomogeneous media.
