Abstract:
The set of traces of H^1(Ω)-functions on a part γ of the boundary \rdΩ is considered, where Ω is a bounded domain in {\Bbb R}^2 with a certain singularity, particularly, with corners at the end points of γ. The aim of the present paper is to show that the set of all traces of functions in H^1(Ω) is equal algebraically and topologically to the domain of a certain fractional power of minus Laplacian on γ with the zero boundary condition. The result is expected to be of use for the mathematical analysis of the DDM (domain decomposition method) applied to such Ω.

Keywords: trace theorem, non-smooth domain, fractional power of operator, domain decomposition method
