Abstract:
 We consider the stationary heat transfer near the contact line of an
 evaporating liquid wedge surrounded by the atmosphere of its
 pure vapor. In a simplified setting, the problem reduces to the
 Laplace equation in a half circle, subject to a non-homogeneous
 and singular boundary condition.
 By classical tools (conformal mapping, Green's function), we reformulate
 the problem as an integral equation for the unknown Neumann boundary
 condition in the setting of appropriate fractional Sobolev and weighted space.
 The unique solvability is then obtained by means of the Fredholm theorem.
