Abstract

We consider two space-periodic transmission problems for the heat equation. By means of space-periodic layer heat potentials, we convert the problems into systems of integral equations. Then we establish the invertibility of the operators appearing in the integral equations and we deduce the unique solvability in parabolic Schauder spaces of the transmission problems.
