Density of Cauchy initial data for solutions of elliptic equations

V. I. Voitinskii

Abstract: In this paper we examine a problem connected with Cauchy's problem for linear elliptic equations.
Let $G$ be a bounded region of $E_n$, and let $\Gamma$ be its boundary. In $G$ we consider the elliptic equation
\begin{gather*} \mathscr Lu(x)=\sum_{|\mu|\leqslant 2m}a_\mu(x)D^\mu u(x)=0 \tag{1}
where $\mathscr L$ is a regular elliptic expression with complex coefficients. Let $\Gamma_1$ be a piece of the surface $\Gamma$. The coefficients of the expression $\mathscr L$, the surface $\Gamma$, and the boundary $\Gamma_1$ are assumed to be infinitely smooth. We are concerned with Cauchy's problem on $\Gamma_1$ with the initial conditions $\{\partial^{j-1}u/\partial\nu^{j-1}|_{\Gamma_1}=f_j\}$, $j=1,…,2m$, where $\nu$ designates the direction normal to $\Gamma$. In this paper we prove that under our assumptions the set of Cauchy initial data for solutions of (1) in $H^l(G)$ is dense in $\sum_{j=1}^{2m}H^{l-j+1/2}(\Gamma_1)$ for any integer $l\geqslant2m$ if Cauchy's problem is unique for the formal conjugate operator $\mathscr L^+$, as is the case, for example, when $\mathscr L$ has no multiple complex characteristics.
In addition, in this paper we give conditions under which the analogous assertion holds for certain elliptic systems.
