Abstract:
We study boundary value and spectral problems in a bounded domain G with smooth border for operators rot+λI and ∇div+λI in the Sobolev spaces.
For λ≠0 these operators are reducible (by B. Veinberg and V. Grushin method) to elliptical matrices and the boundary value problems and satisfy the conditions of V. Solonnikov's ellipticity. Useful properties of solutions of these spectral problems derive from the theory and estimates. The ∇div and rot operators have self-adjoint extensions Nd and S in orthogonal subspaces Aγ and V0 forming from potential and vortex fields in L2(G). Their eigenvectors form orthogonal basis in Aγ and V0 elements which are presented by Fourier series and operators are transformations of series.
We define analogues of Sobolev spaces A2kγ and Wm orders of 2k and m in classes of potential and vortex fields and classes C(2k,m) of their direct sums. It is proved that if λ≠Sp(rot), then the operator rot+λI displays the class C(2k,m+1) on the class C(2k,m) one-to-one and continuously. And if λ≠Sp(∇div), then operator ∇div+λI maps the class C(2(k+1),m) on the class C(2k,m), respectively.
