Abstract
In a bounded simple connected region G ⊂ ℝ3 we consider the equation
where k(z)⪋ 0 whenever z ⪋ 0.G is surrounded forz≥0 by a smooth surface Γ0 with S:=Γ0 ⋂ {(x,y,z)|=0} and forz<0 by the characteristic\(\Gamma _2 :---(x^2 + y^2 )^{{\textstyle{1 \over 2}}} + \int\limits_z^0 {(---k(t))^{{\textstyle{1 \over 2}}} dt = 0} \) and a smooth surface Γ1 which intersect the planez=0 inS and where the outer normal n=(nx, ny, nz) fulfills\(k(z)(n_x^2 + n_y^2 ) + n_z^2 |_{\Gamma _1 } > 0\). Under conditions on Γ1 and the coefficientsk(z), d(x,y,z) we prove the existence of weak solutions for the boundary value problemL[u]=f inG with\(u|_{\Gamma _0 \cup \Gamma _1 } = 0\). The uniqueness of the classical solution for this problem was proved in [1].
