Abstract

In this chapter we take on the task of introducing and studying what we call double multi-layer potential operators, associated with arbitrary elliptic, higher-order, homogeneous, constant (complex) matrix-valued coefficients. As a preamble, we first take a look at the nature of fundamental solutions associated with such operators.
