Reproducing kernels and minimal solutions of elliptic equations

Abstract

Abstract Suppose that the set of square-integrable solutions of an elliptic equation which have a value at some given point equal to c is not empty. Then there is exactly one element with minimal L 2 {L^{2}} -norm. Moreover, it is shown that this minimal element depends continuously on a domain of integration, i.e., on the set on which our solutions are defined, and on a weight of integration, i.e., on the deformation of an inner product. The theorems are proved using the theory of reproducing kernels and Hilbert spaces of square-integrable solutions of elliptic equations. We prove the existence of such a reproducing kernel using theory of Sobolev spaces. We generalize the well-known Ramadanov theorem. This is done in three different ways. Two of them are similar to the techniques used by I. Ramadanov and M. Skwarczyński(see [11, 14, 13]) , while the third method using weak convergence is new. Moreover, we show that our reproducing kernel depends continuously on a weight of integration. The idea of using the minimal norm property in such a proof is novel and, which is important, it needs the convergence of weights only almost everywhere.
