Anisotropic regularity for elliptic problems with Dirac measures as data

Abstract

We study the Possion problem with singular data given by a source supported on a one dimensional curve strictly contained in a three dimensional domain. We prove regularity results for the solution on isotropic and on anisotropic weighted spaces of Kondratiev type. Our technique is based on the study of a regularized problem. This allows us to exploit the local nature of the singularity. Our results hold with very few smoothness hypotheses on the domain and on the support of the data. We also discuss some extensions of our main results, including the two dimensional case, sources supported on closed curves and on polygonals.
