On a method for solution of the ordinary differential equations connected with Huygens' equations
(2010)
We prove a theorem describing the behaviour of the relative index of families of Fredholm operators under surgery performed on spaces where the operators act. In connection with additional conditions (like symmetry conditions) this theorem results in index formulas for given operator families. By way of an example, we give an application to index theory of families of boundary value problems.
A manifold M with smooth edge Y is locally near Y modelled on X-Delta x Omega for a cone X-Delta := ( (R) over bar (+) x X)/({0} x X) where Xis a smooth manifold and Omega subset of R-q an open set corresponding to a chart on Y. Compared with pseudo-differential algebras, based on other quantizations of edge-degenerate symbols, we extend the approach with Mellin representations on the r half-axis up to r = infinity, the conical exit of X-boolean AND = R+ x X (sic) (r, x) at infinity. The alternative description of the edge calculus is useful for pseudo-differential structures on manifolds with higher singularities.
The paper is devoted to pseudodifferential boundary value problems in domains with cuspidal wedges. Concerning the geometry we even admit a more general behaviour, namely oscillating cuspidal wedges. We show a criterion for the Fredholm property of a boundary value problem and derive estimates of solutions close to edges.
