On a linear equation arising in isometric embedding of torus-like surface

Abstract

The solvability of a linear equation and the regularity of the solution are discussed. The equation is arising in a geometric problem which is concerned with the realization of Alexandroff’s positive annul in R ³.

Keywords

Alexandroff’s positive annul / Weighted norm / Regularity
