Apr 16, 2022 at 16:30 comment added Deane Yang It depends on what your assumptions on $L$ are. For example, if $L$ is linear and has constant coefficients, then the existence of $L^{-1}$ was proved by Leon Ehrenpreis. References can be found here: mathoverflow.net/questions/186779/…
Apr 16, 2022 at 11:01 comment added Igor Khavkine A simple, but case-by-case approach: Extend your solution $\Psi$ by 0 outside your domain. The derivatives in $L[\Psi]$ produce $\delta$ functions and their derivatives on the boundary. The structure of the coefficients of these $\delta$ functions encode the boundary conditions and the boundary data. Pick a source term $J$ that has $\delta$ functions on the boundary, whose coefficients have the same structure as the above $L[\Psi]$. Then solve $L[\Psi] = J$ with the only boundary condition being that vanishes outside your domain. Keywords: Duhamel's Principle, Multi-Layer Potentials.
