This becomes a Riemann–Hilbert problem with ( G(t) = \fraca(t)-b(t)a(t)+b(t) ). Solvability and number of linearly independent solutions depend on the index. [ a(t) \phi(t) + \fracb(t)\pi i \int_\Gamma \frac\phi(\tau)\tau-t d\tau + \int_\Gamma k(t,\tau) \phi(\tau) d\tau = f(t), ]

[ \Phi^\pm(t_0) = \pm \frac12 \phi(t_0) + \frac12\pi i , \textP.V. \int_\Gamma \frac\phi(t)t-t_0 , dt, ]

then the boundary values yield:

[ \kappa = \frac12\pi \left[ \arg G(t) \right]_\Gamma. ]

[ \Phi^+(t) = G(t) , \Phi^-(t) + g(t), ] This becomes a Riemann–Hilbert problem with ( G(t)

[ (a(t) + b(t)) \Phi^+(t) - (a(t) - b(t)) \Phi^-(t) = f(t). ]

[ (S\phi)(t_0) := \frac1\pi i , \textP.V. \int_\Gamma \frac\phi(t)t-t_0 , dt ] \int_\Gamma \frac\phi(t)t-t_0 , dt, ] then the boundary

[ \Phi(z) = \frac12\pi i \int_\Gamma \frac\phi(t)t-z , dt ]

where P.V. denotes the Cauchy principal value. The singular integral operator \int_\Gamma \frac\phi(t)t-t_0 , dt ] [ \Phi(z) =

with ( a(t), b(t) ) Hölder continuous. The key is to set
