A stationary heat conduction problem in low dimensional sets in {mathbb {R}}^N

Abstract

We study a basic linear elliptic equation on a lower dimensional rectifiable set S in {mathbb {R}}^N with the Neumann boundary data. Set S is a support of a finite Borel measure mu . We will use the measure theoretic tools to interpret the equation and the Neumann boundary condition. For this purpose we recall the Sobolev-type space dependent on the measure mu . We establish existence and uniqueness of weak solutions provided that an appropriate source term is given.
