A note on the shift theorem for the Laplacian in polygonal domains

Abstract

We present a shift theorem for solutions of the Poisson equation in a finite planar cone (and hence also on plane polygons) for Dirichlet, Neumann, and mixed boundary conditions. The range in which the shift theorem holds depends on the angle of the cone. For the right endpoint of the range, the shift theorem is described in terms of Besov spaces rather than Sobolev spaces.
