4. Reduction of the Riemann-Hilbert problem to<br />

functional equations<br />

It follows from [15] that the inhomogeneous Riemann-Hilbert problem (2) always<br />

has solutions. The general solution amounts of a particular solution of the inhomogeneous<br />

problem and a linear combination of n solutions of the homogeneous<br />

problem.<br />

In order to solve the problem (2) rewrite it in the <strong>for</strong>m of the R-linear problem<br />

(13)<br />

(t − a k )ψ(t) = (t − a k )ψ k (t) − (t − a k )ψ k (t) − 1 + iξ k ,<br />

|t − a k | = r k , k = 1, . . . , n.<br />

Here, ξ k are undetermined real constants, ψ k (z) is analytic in |z − a k | < r k ,<br />

continuous in |z − a k | ≤ r k except the points z lk , where<br />

(14) ψ k (z) ∼<br />

β lk<br />

2(z − z lk )<br />

as z → z lk .<br />

It will be shown below in Lemma 1 that the asymptotics (14) and (5) <strong>for</strong> ψ(z)<br />

are matched. Hence, the R-linear problem (13) must be stated in a class of<br />

functions with prescribed singularities. It is convenient to describe this class by<br />

introduction of the Banach spaces as follows.<br />

Let G be a domain on the extended complex plane. Introduce the Banach space<br />

C(∂G) of functions continuous on ∂G with the norm<br />

‖F ‖ = max |F (t)|.<br />

t∈∂G<br />

Let us consider a closed subspace C A (G) of C(∂G) consisting of functions analytically<br />

continued into G. The Maximum Principle implies that convergence in<br />

the space C A (G) is equivalent to uni<strong>for</strong>m convergence in the closure of G. Let<br />

a fixed function F 0 have a finite number of singularities on the boundary ∂G.<br />

Introduce the space<br />

of functions endowed with the norm<br />

C A (G, F 0 ) = {F : F − F 0 ∈ C A (G)}<br />

‖F ‖ CA (G,F 0 ) = max<br />

t∈∂G |F (t) − F 0(t)|.<br />

The spaces C A (G, F 0 ) and C A (G) are isomorphic.<br />

Introduce mutually disjointed disks<br />

D k = {z ∈ C: |z − a k | < r k }, k = 1, 2, . . . , n.<br />

The multiply connected domain D complements all the closed disks D k ∪ L k to<br />

the extended complex plane Ĉ = C ∪ {∞}, i.e.<br />

n<br />

D = Ĉ\ ⋃<br />

(D k ∪ L k ).<br />
