On domain of Poisson operators and factorization for divergence form elliptic operators (Q512822)

From the abstract: We consider second order uniformly elliptic operators of divergence form in \(\mathbb{R}^{d+1}\) whose coefficients are independent of one variable. For such a class of operators we establish a factorization into a product of first order operators related with Poisson operators and Dirichlet-Neumann maps. Consequently, we obtain a solution formula for the inhomogeneous elliptic boundary value problem in the half space, which is useful to show the existence of solutions in a wider class of inhomogeneous data. We also establish \(L^2\) solvability of boundary value problems for a new class of the elliptic operators.
