In this paper, we establish a decomposition theorem for polyharmonic functions and consider its applications to some Dirichlet problems in the unit disc. By the decomposition, we get the unique solution of the Dirichlet problem for polyharmonic functions (PHD problem) and give a unified expression for a class of kernel functions associated with the solution in the case of the unit disc introduced by Begehr, Du and Wang. In addition, we also discuss some quasi-Dirichlet problems for homogeneous mixed-partial differential equations of higher order. It is worthy to note that the decomposition theorem in the present paper is a natural extension of the Goursat decomposition theorem for biharmonic functions.
By using the Riemann-Hilbert method and the Corona theorem, Wiener-Hopf factorization for a class of matrix functions is studied. Under appropriate assumption, a sufficient and necessary condition for the existence of the matrix function admitting canonical factorization is obtained and the solution to a class of non-linear Riemann-Hilbert problems is also given. Furthermore, by means of non-standard Corona theorem partial estimation of the general factorization can be obtained.
