Laplace transformation of vector-valued distributions and applications to Cauchy-Dirichlet problems

We present two new proofs of the exchange theorem for the Laplace transformation of vector-valued distributions. We then derive an explicit solution to the Dirichlet problem of the polyharmonic operator in a half-space. Finally, we obtain explicit solutions to Cauchy-Dirichlet problems of iterated wave- and Klein-Gordon operators in half-spaces. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
