We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

About solutions of Poisson's equation with transition condition in non-smooth domains
Anja Schlömerkemper
Abstract
Starting from integral representations of solutions of Poisson's equation with transition condition, we study the first and second derivatives of these solutions for all dimensions $d\geq 2$. This involves derivatives of single layer potentials and Newton potentials, which we regularize smoothly. On smooth parts of the boundary of the non-smooth domains under consideration, the convergence of the first derivative of the solution is uniform; this is well known in the literature for regularizations using a sharp cut-off by balls. Close to corners etc. we prove convergence in $L^1$ with respect to the surface measure. Furthermore we show that the second derivative of the solution is in $L^1$ on the bulk.
The interface problem studied in this article is obtained from the stationary Maxwell equations in magnetostatics and was initiated by work on magnetic forces.
