Regularity and Neumann problems for operators with real coefficients satisfying Carleson conditions (Q6162051)

In interesting paper, the authors consider the solvability of certain boundary value problems for a class of elliptic second order divergence form equations \(\mathcal{L}=\mathrm{div}(A\nabla \cdot)\) in a domain above a Lipschitz graph in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), where the coefficients of \(A\) are assumed to satisfy a Carleson measure condition. The authors prove that there exists \(p_{\mathrm{reg}}>1\) such that for all \(1<p<p_{\mathrm{reg}}\), the \(L^p\) Regularity problem for the operator \(\mathcal{L}\) is solvable. Moreover, \(\frac{1}{p_{\mathrm{reg}}}+\frac{1}{q_*}=1\), where \(q_*>1\) is the number for which the \(L^q\) Dirichlet problem for the adjoint operator \(\mathcal{L}^*\) is solvable for all \(q>q_*\). The authors also prove that when \(n=2\), there exists \(p_{\mathrm{neum}}>1\) for which for all \(1<p<p_{\mathrm{neum}}\), the \(L^p\) Neumann problem for the operator \(\mathcal{L}\) is solvable. Finally, it is shown that \(\frac{1}{p_{\mathrm{reg}}}+\frac{1}{q^*}=1\), where \(q^*\) is the number for which the \(L^q\) Dirichlet problem for the operator \(\mathcal{L}_1=\mathrm{div}(A_1\nabla \cdot)\) is solvable for all \(q>q^*\), where \(A_1=A/\mathrm{det}A\). The key ingredient in the paper is a result that reduces the solvability of the Regularity problem for matrices whose coefficients satisfy a certain Carleson condition, to the solvability of the Regularity problem for an operator defined by a block-form matrix.
