Résumé

In this paper, we investigate the half-space Dirichlet problem for elliptic differential-difference equations with superpositions of differential operators and translation operators acting in arbitrary directions parallel to the boundary hyperplane. The summability assumption is imposed on the boundary-value function of the problem. The specified equations, substantially generalizing classical elliptic partial differential equations, arise in various models of mathematical physics with nonlocal and (or) heterogeneous properties or the process or medium: multi-layer plates and envelopes theory, theory of diffusion processes, biomathematical applications, models of nonlinear optics, etc. The theoretical interest to such equations is caused by their nonlocal nature: they connect values of the desired function (and its derivatives) at different points (instead of the same one), which makes many classical methods unapplicable. For the considered problem, we establish the solvability in the sense of generalized functions, construct Poisson-like integral representations of solutions, and prove the infinite smoothness of the solution outside the boundary hyperplane and its uniform convergence to zero (together with all its derivatives) as the timelike variable tends to infinity. We find a power estimate of the velocity of the specified extinction of the solution and each its derivative.
