Partial differential equation with a nowhere differentiable boundary
Consider the Dirichlet boundary value problem of the 2-dimensional Laplace's equation. When the boundary is piecewise smooth, it can be solved by the Green's function for the double layer potential. Now, what is the solution for a continuous but nowhere differentiable boundary such as a fractal curve?

While the question you ask is an interesting one, it is incredibly broad, and leads to a lot of interesting mathematics, some of which is still actively being researched. The actual shape of the domain matters (convex domains, star-convex domains, John domains, &c.), the boundary conditions matter (Dirichlet, von Neuman, Robin, &c.), and the differential operator under consideration matters (obviously?). Unfortunately, because this question is so broad, I don't think that it is a good fit for MSE, and I have voted to close it.

@XanderHenderson: I am aware that this subject in general is broad, that is precisely why I would like to "consider the simple case of the Dirichlet boundary value problem of the Laplace's equation" "with a continuous but nowhere differentiable boundary such as a fractal surface". In any case, I have pared down the question to a completely specific one.
