N2 - The aim of this study is to resolve the phenomenon of formation of mesoscopic structures on the surface of heteroepitaxial thin film system due to surface diffusion by considering the effects of both surface and interface stresses. Elastic stress field caused by curved surface is solved by using the constitutive equations of linear elasticity for the bulk and surface phases. Based on the method of superposition, a boundary perturbation technique, Goursat-Kolosov complex potentials and Muskhelishvili representations, the boundary value problem is reduced to the successive solution of a system of singular and hypersingular integral equations for any order of approximation. This solution and thermodynamic approach allows us to derive a governing equation which gives the amplitude changing of a surface roughness with time.
