Abstract

The paper studies boundary integral operators of the bi-Laplacian on piecewise smooth curves with corners and describes their mapping properties in the trace spaces of variational solutions of the biharmonic equation. We formulate a direct integral equation method for solving mixed boundary value problems for the biharmonic equation on a nonsmooth plane domain, analyse the solvability of the corresponding systems of integral equations and prove their strong ellipticity.
