Abstract
The aim of this work is to obtain one regularity of solutions to Laplace
problems in a section from Green nucleus in order to apply these results
to varying coefficient problems or to curvilinear domainns.The results are
tackled under a general from by Kondratiev ( Transformation of the domain
to bring it to the band ), Merigot ( Solution in Lp,limited development
from Mellin transformation ), Moussaoui (C. (..)solution,Dauge
(written soluton from a resolvent ), Grisvard ( Freedholm alternative ).

1.1 Introduction
Many work were realises concerning the problems in extreme caseselliptic in
fields with " corners "(polygons in R2, polyhedres in R3).Grisvard [1] show
that the formula of Green for the Laplacian known in the traditional case is
also valid in a polygon, the alternative of Freedholm enables him to find the
results traditionals.Kondratiev[2] ,to avoid them angular points, was based
on the transformation . = e.t, what raméne the study with the traditional
case in a band, what is has problem badly posed.Il introduced spaces with
weight in the beginning that one remaque while writing dt = ..
. .Mérigot[7]
built a core of Poisson for the elliptic problems with constant coefficients in
one sector . = {(., .) : 0< . . . < 2. , 0 < .} by using the transform of
Mellin, which underlines convolutions multiplicative of the type : (f . g) (.) =
. Z0
f ³.
t ´g (t)
dt
t
=
. Z0
f (t) g ³.
t ´dt
t
.In this work, we used the core of Green to
solve the Laplacian in a sector.This method is original and its generalization
remains open.
That is to say the polygon .; the problem: ½ .u = f
u |.= 0
f . L2 (.) (1.1)
admits a solutionu, who in the vicinity of the top Si of angle .i check:
If .i . . , u . H2 ...i¢ If .i > ., u = u0 + k.
.
. sin . .
. , u0 . H2 ...i¢ ..ibeing the intersection of . with the disc of centerSi and of ray .0.
Let us consider the problem model: ½ .u = f on ..
u (., 0) = 0 and u (., .) = 0
(1.2)
It is supposed that the solution exists, is with compact support and belongs
with H2 (..). The transform ofMellin: f (t) .. ef (.) = Z +.
..
f (t) t. dt
t
,equivalent
to the transform of Fourier for measurement dt
t , transform the problem(1.1) in
a problem with a variable ., depending on a parameter S on the segment [ 0,]: ( ^[.2.u] (., .) = (2) .2eu (., .) + g.2u
.2.2 (., .) = hg.2f (., .)i sur [0, .]
eu (., 0) = eu (., .) = 0
(1.3)
The solutions of the homogeneous differential equation of the 2^{éme} order
are goniometrical functions and the core of Green of the problem (1.3) is not
other than the elementary solution of the problem and is
written:

..2 = ..2eu . ^ [.2f (., .)].It is necessary to take ³. eK´so that calculation
falls right, in addition,in ghost wi (¢) eu (., 0) = eu (., .) = 0,
The function eK is meromorphe compared to .,poles being points µk.
. ¶, k . N..
Fork = 0, there is on the right a limit and a limit on the left.It is known that
the solution of (1.3) is written:
eu (., .) = Z .
0 eK (., ., .)g.2f (., .) d.
The function eK (., ., .), regarded as function of the variable ., is with
exponential decay for any couple (., .) 6= 0 when Im . tends towards the infinite
one.One can thus define a function reversesK (., ., .). Indeed, we have the
theorem according to:

Théorème 1 either f (z) an analytical function in the angle .. < . < . .z = rei.¢ such as:
... > 0, f (z) = ...
0 ³|z|.a..´ when |z| . 0
0 ³|z|.b+.´ when |z| . +.
(with 0 < a < b < .) uniformly in the preceding angle, then :

0 £e(...).¤ when . . ..
(. = . + i.) ,uniformly in
the band Ba,b = {., a < Re . < b} and reciprocally [ 9 ]
This function depends on the value which one gives with Re ..We will pose
K0 (., ., .) the function reverses of eK défine for 0 < Re . < .

K0 (., ., .) =

On the interior of ., the function eK (., ., .) ...is holomorphic except at the
point . (j . 1) .
. . Moreover, on both horizontal segments, the function tends
towards zero (|Im.| .. +..)

The theorem of the residues makes it possible to write :
Kj.1 (., ., .) . Kj (., ., .) = Res.(j.1) .

In the example which interests us, in³..

The function R1 is singular if .

will be seen, it then appears a problem of convergence of integral. We consider

We will find these results directly.

If . = . , the problem is in fact posed in a half-plane and the result is

The second integral converges like product of two functions of L2 .If one calculates

is impossible. Two solutions are to be considered:
• to insulate the pole using a function which one connait the opposite transform
of Mellin.
• to make a direct calculation.
It is the second step which we will choose. According to (1.3) the same
demonstration than a) show that:
.. .2u

t
for each
order of derivation, factor which shifts the transforms of Mellin of a unit, but calculation
in its principle is unchanged and u belongs with Hs+2 (.. . B0 (0, r0)) .
Case: s + 1 >
.
.
The study is identical to that of the derived second if
.
. . ¤1
2 , 1£. Each pole
nonwhole contents in the band .1 . s < Re. < .1 , fact apparaitre a singular
function in the limited development of u in the vicinity of the origin.The study
of a whole pole is somewhat different. The study of the case . =
.
2
allows to
analyze the situation well. Let us suppose that u that is to say defined in the
quadrant (x . 0, y . 0) and is solution of the problem :
...
.u = f (x, y) ,
u (x, 0) = g1 (x) ,
u (0, y) = g2 (y) .
When one makes tend x and y towards zero in the equation, it comes:
.2g1
.x2 (0) +
.2g2
.y2 (0) = f (0, 0) who is a condition of compatibility. In the
same way, by combining the operator . with operators of order two one will
make apparaitre the conditions relating to the pole .2.
.
= .4. For facilities
of writing, one will limit oneself to the case . =
.
2
,but it is quite obvious
that the demonstration applies to all the poles entireties. The first pole which
8

intervenes is . = .2. The difficulties thus appear for the poles whole. For good
to include/understand the step, one supposes . =
.
2
and f . H2 (..) because
one can hope that the solution u belongswith H4 (..) . The first pole of the
transform of Mellin is . = .2, it makes apparaitre difficulties for the derivative
of orderit makes apparaitre difficulties for the derivative of order three. Let us
interest, first of all with
.2u

zero.
.2u

d.. When . tends towards zero, the
limit does not have feel that if f (0, .) = 0. One finds then the conditions of
compatibility referred to above .
One can then write:
