Synopsis

In the general theory of non-selfadjoint elliptic boundary value problems involving an indefinite weight function, there arises the problem of obtaining a priori estimates for solutions about points of discontinuity of the weight function. Here we deal with this problem for the case where the weight function vanishes on a set of positive measure.
