abstract:
Some transmission problems for scalar second order elliptic partial differential 
equations are considered in a bounded composite domain consisting of adjacent 
anisotropic subdomains having a common interface surface.
The matrix of coefficients of the differential operator has a jump across the 
interface but in each of the adjacent subdomains is represented as the product 
of a constant matrix by a smooth variable scalar function. The Dirichlet or 
mixed type boundary conditions are prescribed on the exterior boundary of the 
composite domain, the Neumann conditions on the the interface crack surfaces and 
the transmission conditions on the rest of the interface. Employing the 
parametrix-based localized potential method, the transmission problems are 
reduced to the localized boundary-domain integral equations. The corresponding 
localized boundary-domain integral operators are investigated and their 
invertibility in appropriate function spaces is proved.
