We study mixed boundary value problems for an elliptic operator A on a manifold X with boundary Y, i.e., Au = f in int X, T (+/-) u = g(+/-) on int Y+/-, where Y is subdivided into subsets Y+/- with an interface Z and boundary conditions T+/- on Y+/- that are Shapiro-Lopatinskij elliptic up to Z from the respective sides. We assume that Z subset of Y is a manifold with conical singularity v. As an example we consider the Zaremba problem, where A is the Laplacian and T- Dirichlet, T+ Neumann conditions. The problem is treated as a corner boundary value problem near v which is the new point and the main difficulty in this paper. Outside v the problem belongs to the edge calculus as is shown in Bull. Sci. Math. ( to appear). With a mixed problem we associate Fredholm operators in weighted corner Sobolev spaces with double weights, under suitable edge conditions along Z {v} of trace and potential type. We construct parametrices within the calculus and establish the regularity of solutions.
We study elliptic boundary value problems in a wedge with additional edge conditions of trace and potential type. We compute the (difference of the) number of such conditions in terms of the Fredholm index of the principal edge symbol. The task will be reduced to the case of special opening angles, together with a homotopy argument.
