Abstract: In the paper arXiv:1708.02289 we have introduced new solvability methods for strongly elliptic second order systems in divergence form on a domains above a Lipschitz graph, satisfying Lp-boundary data for p near 2. The main novel aspect of our result is that it applies to operators with coefficients of limited regularity and applies to operators satisfying a natural Carleson condition that has been first considered in the scalar case. In this paper we extend this result in several directions. We improve the range of solvability of the Lp Dirichlet problem to the interval 2−varepsilon<p<frac2(n−1)(n−3)+varepsilon, for systems in dimension n=2,3 in the range 2−varepsilon<p<infty. We do this by considering solvability of the Regularity problem (with boundary data having one derivative in Lp) in the range 2−varepsilon<p<2+varepsilon. Secondly, we look at perturbation type-results where we can deduce solvability of the Lp Dirichlet problem for one operator from known Lp Dirichlet solvability of a lqlq close" operator (in the sense of Carleson measure). This leads to improvement of the main result of the paper arXiv:1708.02289; we establish solvability of the Lp Dirichlet problem in the interval 2−varepsilon<p<frac2(n−1)(n−2)+varepsilon under a much weaker (oscillation-type) Carleson condition. A particular example of the system where all these results apply is the Lam'e operator for isotropic inhomogeneous materials with Poisson ratio u<0.396. In this specific case further improvements of the solvability range are possible, see the upcoming work with J. Li and J. Pipher.
