On semi-fredholm properties of a boundary value problem inR + n

The paper considers a boundary value problem with the help of the smallest closed extensionL ∼ :H k →H k 0×B h 1×...×B h N of a linear operatorL :C (0) ∞ (R + n ) →L(R + n )×L(R n−1)×...×L(R n−1). Here the spacesH k (the spaces ℬ h ) are appropriate subspaces ofD′(R + n ) (ofD′(R n−1), resp.),L(R + n ) andC (0) ∞ (R + n )) denotes the linear space of smooth functionsR n →C, which are restrictions onR + n of a function from the Schwartz classL (fromC 0 ∞ , resp.),L(R n−1) is the Schwartz class of functionsR n−1 →C andL is constructed by pseudo-differential operators. Criteria for the closedness of the rangeR(L ∼) and for the uniqueness of solutionsL ∼ U=F are expressed. In addition, ana prio…
