Singularities of the solution of the laplacian in domains with circular edges

Abstract

In this paper we generalize the results from [4] to special domains with curved edges. For general elliptic boundary value problems the behavior of the solutions near arbitrary, smooth edges is analyzed by Maz'ja and Rossmann [3]. First following Dauge [1] we derive a regularity theorem for the solution of the Dirichlet problem of the Laplacian with a decomposition into edge singularities of nontensor product form. In this case the regularity of the remainder term in the decomposition corresponds to the one in the two-dimensional case [2]. Following [4] we obtain a refined decomposition where all singularity terms are of tensor product form. We illustrate our results with several examples.
