We study operators on singular manifolds, here of conical or edge type, and develop a new general approach of representing asymptotics of solutions to elliptic equations close to the singularities. We introduce asymptotic parametrices, using tools from cone and edge pseudo-differential algebras. Our structures are motivated by models of many-particle physics with singular Coulomb potentials that contribute higher order singularities in Euclidean space, determined by the number of particles.
The regularity of solutions to elliptic equations on a manifold with singularities, say, an edge, can be formulated in terms of asymptotics in the distance variable r > 0 to the singularity. In simplest form such asymptotics turn to a meromorphic behaviour under applying the Mellin transform on the half-axis. Poles, multiplicity, and Laurent coefficients form a system of asymptotic data which depend on the specific operator. Moreover, these data may depend on the variable y along the edge. We then have y-dependent families of meromorphic functions with variable poles, jumping multiplicities and a discontinuous dependence of Laurent coefficients on y. We study here basic phenomena connected with such variable branching asymptotics, formulated in terms of variable continuous asymptotics with a y-wise discrete behaviour.
