Abstract:
In order to establish qualitatively sharp regularity estimates for solutions of discrete equilibration problems employed to model crystal defects, one needs to first establish existence of a corresponding lattice Green`s function and prove its decay properties. In this talk I will first briefly discuss how to do it in a spatially homogeneous setup, explain why it is non-trivial in a non-homogeneous setup of a crack defect and present a way of tackling this problem.
