Abstract: We are discussing the elliptic operator L:=div(A∇⋅) and wonder which types of matrices A yield solvability of Lp boundary value problems. It is well-known that the DKP or Carleson condition implies solvability for the Dirichlet and the regularity boundary value problem. Equally, if the domain is the upper half space, independence of the transversal direction t gives solvability of these boundary value problems.
On the upper half space Rn+1+, we would like to introduce a different sufficient condition for solvability which is given by a mixed L1−L∞ condition. This condition generalizes the class of t-independent operators and also implies solvability of the Lp Dirichlet and regularity boundary value problem. If we are in the setting of the upper half plane R2+, we even obtain a stronger result for the Dirichlet problem by the same proof strategy: If A satisfies an L1-Carleson condition on ∂tA, then we obtain ω∈A∞(σ) or solvability of the Lp Dirichlet problem.
