Based on the International Conference on Boundary Value Problems and lntegral Equations In Nonsmooth Domains held recently in Luminy, France, this work contains strongly interrelated, refereed papers that detail the latest findings in the fields of nonsmooth domains and corner singularities. Two-dimensional polygonal or Lipschitz domains, three-dimensional polyhedral corners and edges, and conical points in any dimension are examined.

This 2000 book provided the first detailed exposition of the mathematical theory of boundary integral equations of the first kind on non-smooth domains.

This monograph is devoted to the development of a new approach to studying elliptic differential and integro-differential (pseudodifferential) equations and their boundary problems in non-smooth domains. This approach is based on a special representation of symbols of elliptic operators called wave factorization. In canonical domains, for example, the angle on a plane or a wedge in space, this yields a general solution, and then leads to the statement of a boundary problem. Wave factorization has also been used to obtain explicit formulas for solving some problems in diffraction and elasticity theory. Audience: This volume will be of interest to mathematicians, engineers, and physicists whose work involves partial differential equations, integral equations, operator theory, elasticity and viscoelasticity, and electromagnetic theory. It can also be recommended as a text for graduate and postgraduate students for courses in singular integral and pseudodifferential equations.

This volume includes several invited lectures given at the International Workshop "Analysis, Partial Differential Equations and Applications", held at the Mathematical Department of Sapienza University of Rome, on the occasion of the 70th birthday of Vladimir G. Maz'ya, a renowned mathematician and one of the main experts in the field of pure and applied analysis. The book aims at spreading the seminal ideas of Maz'ya to a larger audience in faculties of sciences and engineering. In fact, all articles were inspired by previous works of Maz'ya in several frameworks, including classical and contemporary problems connected with boundary and initial value problems for elliptic, hyperbolic and parabolic operators, Schrödinger-type equations, mathematical theory of elasticity, potential theory, capacity, singular integral operators, p-Laplacians, functional analysis, and approximation theory. Maz'ya is author of more than 450 papers and 20 books. In his long career he obtained many astonishing and frequently cited results in the theory of harmonic potentials on non-smooth domains, potential and capacity theories, spaces of functions with bounded variation, maximum principle for higher-order elliptic equations, Sobolev multipliers, approximate approximations, etc. The topics included in this volume will be particularly useful to all researchers who are interested in achieving a deeper understanding of the large expertise of Vladimir Maz'ya.

This text is based on lectures presented at the International Conference on Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) on Multistructures, held in Luminy, France. It contains advances in the field, compiling research on the analyses and applications of multistructures - including treatments of classical theories, specific characterizations and modellings of multistructures, and discussions on uses in physics, electronics, and biology.
