Abstract

We consider the Dirichlet and Neumann problems for second-order linear elliptic equations: u+div(ub)=f and vbv=g -\triangle u +\mathrm{div}(u\mathbf{b}) =f \quad\text{ and }\quad -\triangle v -\mathbf{b} \cdot \nabla v =g in a bounded Lipschitz domain Ω\Omega in Rn\mathbb{R}^n (n3)(n\geq 3), where b:ΩRn\mathbf{b}:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n is a given vector field. Under the assumption that bLn(Ω)n\mathbf{b} \in L^{n}(\Omega)^n, we first establish existence and uniqueness of solutions in Lαp(Ω)L_{\alpha}^{p}(\Omega) for the Dirichlet and Neumann problems. Here Lαp(Ω)L_{\alpha}^{p}(\Omega) denotes the Sobolev space (or Bessel potential space) with the pair (α,p)(\alpha,p) satisfying certain conditions. These results extend the classical works of Jerison-Kenig [17] and Fabes-Mendez-Mitrea [12] for the Poisson equation. We also prove existence and uniqueness of solutions of the Dirichlet problem with boundary data in L2(Ω)L^{2}(\partial\Omega). Our results for the Dirichlet problems hold even for the case n=2n=2.
