On extension of Green's operator on bounded smooth domains

Abstract

We prove a regularity result for Green's functions that are associated to elliptic second order divergence-type linear PDO's with coefficients in C^{1,α}(\barΩ). Here α\in (0,1) and Ω\subset \R^n is a bounded C^{2,α} domain in dimension n\ge 3. The regularity result gives boundary estimates for derivatives up to order (2+α) and, by using these estimates, we extend the associated Green's operator to a globally defined singular integral which of Calderón--Zygmund type.
