The integrals along $  \Gamma $
 +
on the right-hand sides of these formulas are understood in the sense of the Cauchy principal value and are so-called singular integrals. By taking, under these conditions, $  \Phi  ^ {+} ( t) $(
 +
or $  \Phi  ^ {-} ( t) $)  
 +
as values of the integral $  \Phi ( z) $
 +
on $  \Gamma $,  
 +
one thus obtains a function $  \Phi ( z) $
 +
that is continuous in the closed domain $  \overline{ {D  ^ {+} }}\; = D  ^ {+} \cup \Gamma $(

respectively, $  \overline{ {D  ^ {-} }}\; = D  ^ {-} \cup \Gamma $).

Much work has been done on Cauchy-type integrals in recent years. Thus, A.P. Calderón [[#References|[a1]]] has proved the existence of non-tangential boundary values almost everywhere under weaker conditions, and he has studied the principal value integral, or Cauchy transform, in (2) as a bounded linear operator on appropriate <img align="absmiddle" border="0" src="https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/legacyimages/s/s086/s086020/s08602054.png" /> spaces.

The idea of representing a function on a simple closed curve as the jump of an analytic function across that curve has been extensively generalized. Thus, every distribution on the unit circle and every tempered distribution on <img align="absmiddle" border="0" src="https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/legacyimages/s/s086/s086020/s08602055.png" /> can be represented as such jumps in an appropriate sense, cf. [[#References|[a3]]]. The ultimate in this direction are Sato's hyperfunctions (cf. [[#References|[a5]]] and [[Hyperfunction|Hyperfunction]]).

Formulas first discovered by Yu.V. Sokhotskii [1], expressing the boundary values of a Cauchy-type integral. With more complete proofs but significantly later, the formulas were obtained independently by J. Plemelj .

Let $ \Gamma $: $ t= t( s) $, $ 0\leq s \leq l $, $ t( 0)= t( l) $, be a closed smooth Jordan curve in the complex $ z $- plane, let $ \phi ( t) $ be the complex density in a Cauchy-type integral along $ \Gamma $, on which $ \phi ( t) $ satisfies a Hölder condition:

$$ | \phi ( t _ {1} ) - \phi ( t _ {2} ) | \leq C | t _ {1} - t _ {2} | ^ \alpha ,\ 0< \alpha \leq 1; $$

let $ D ^ {+} $ be the interior of $ \Gamma $, $ D ^ {-} $ its exterior, and let

$$ \tag{1 } \Phi ( z) = \frac{1}{2 \pi i } \int\limits _ \Gamma \frac{\phi ( t) dt }{t-} z ,\ z \notin \Gamma , $$

be a Cauchy-type integral. Then, for any point $ t _ {0} \in \Gamma $ the limits

$$ \Phi ^ {+} ( t _ {0} ) = \lim\limits _ {\begin{array}{c} z \rightarrow t _ {0} \\ z \in D ^ {+} \end{array} } \Phi ( z), $$

$$ \Phi ^ {-} ( t _ {0} ) = \lim\limits _ {\begin{array}{c} z \rightarrow t _ {0} \\ z \in D ^ {-} \end{array} } \Phi ( z) $$

exist and are given by the Sokhotskii formulas

$$ \tag{2 } \left . or, equivalently, $$ \Phi ^ {+} ( t _ {0} ) + \Phi ^ {-} ( t _ {0} ) = \frac{1}{\pi i }

\int\limits _  \Gamma  

\frac{\phi ( t) dt }{t- t _ {0} }

,

$$ $$ \Phi ^ {+} ( t _ {0} ) - \Phi ^ {-} ( t _ {0} ) = \phi ( t _ {0} ) . $$ The integrals along $ \Gamma $ on the right-hand sides of these formulas are understood in the sense of the Cauchy principal value and are so-called singular integrals. By taking, under these conditions, $ \Phi ^ {+} ( t) $( or $ \Phi ^ {-} ( t) $) as values of the integral $ \Phi ( z) $ on $ \Gamma $, one thus obtains a function $ \Phi ( z) $ that is continuous in the closed domain $ \overline{ {D ^ {+} }}\; = D ^ {+} \cup \Gamma $( respectively, $ \overline{ {D ^ {-} }}\; = D ^ {-} \cup \Gamma $). In the large, $ \Phi ( z) $ is sometimes described as a piecewise-analytic function. If $ \alpha < 1 $, then $ \Phi ^ {+} ( t) $ and $ \Phi ^ {-} ( t) $ are also Hölder continuous on $ \Gamma $ with the same exponent $ \alpha $, while if $ \alpha = 1 $, with any exponent $ \alpha ^ \prime < 1 $. For the corner points $ t _ {0} $ of a piecewise-smooth curve $ \Gamma $( see Fig.), the Sokhotskii formulas take the form $$ \tag{3 }

In the case of a non-closed piecewise-smooth curve $ \Gamma $, the Sokhotskii formulas (2) and (3) remain valid for the interior points of the arc $ \Gamma $.

The Sokhotskii formulas play a basic role in solving boundary value problems of function theory and in the theory of singular integral equations (see [3], [5]), and also in solving various applied problems in function theory (see [4]).

The question naturally arises as to the possibility of extending the conditions on the contour $ \Gamma $ and the density $ \phi ( t) $, in such a way that the Sokhotskii formulas (possibly with some restrictions) remain valid. The most significant results in this direction are due to V.V. Golubev and I.I. Privalov (see [6], [8]). For example, let $ \Gamma $ be a rectifiable Jordan curve, and let the density $ \phi ( t) $ be, as before, Hölder continuous on $ \Gamma $. Then the Sokhotskii formulas (2) hold almost everywhere on $ \Gamma $, where $ \Phi ^ {+} ( t _ {0} ) $ and $ \Phi ^ {-} ( t _ {0} ) $ are understood as non-tangential boundary values of the Cauchy-type integral from inside and outside $ \Gamma $, respectively, but $ \Phi ^ {+} ( z) $ and $ \Phi ^ {-} ( z) $ are, in general, not continuous in the closed domains $ \overline{ {D ^ {+} }}\; $ and $ \overline{ {D ^ {-} }}\; $.

For spatial analogues of the Sokhotskii formulas see [7].

Comments

In the Western literature one usually speaks of the Plemelj formulas; the combination Sokhotskii–Plemelj formulas also occurs.

Much work has been done on Cauchy-type integrals in recent years. Thus, A.P. Calderón [a1] has proved the existence of non-tangential boundary values almost everywhere under weaker conditions, and he has studied the principal value integral, or Cauchy transform, in (2) as a bounded linear operator on appropriate $ L _ {p} $ spaces. For further information see [a2].

The idea of representing a function on a simple closed curve as the jump of an analytic function across that curve has been extensively generalized. Thus, every distribution on the unit circle and every tempered distribution on $ \mathbf R $ can be represented as such jumps in an appropriate sense, cf. [a3]. The ultimate in this direction are Sato's hyperfunctions (cf. [a5] and Hyperfunction).
