Abstract

We consider the Dirichlet problem for second-order linear elliptic equations in divergence form \begin{equation*} -\mathrm{div }(A\nabla u)+\mathbf{b} \cdot \nabla u+\lambda u=f+\mathrm{div } \mathbf{F}\quad \text{in } \Omega\quad\text{and}\quad u=0\quad \text{on } \partial\Omega, \end{equation*} in bounded Lipschitz domain Ω\Omega in R2\mathbb{R}^2, where A:R2R22A:\mathbb{R}^2\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{2^2}, b:ΩR2\mathbf{b} : \Omega\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2, and λ0\lambda \geq 0 are given. If 2<p<2<p<\infty and AA has a small mean oscillation in small balls, Ω\Omega has small Lipschitz constant, and divA,bL2(Ω;R2)\mathrm{div } A,\,\mathbf{b} \in L^{2}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^2), then we prove existence and uniqueness of weak solutions in W01,p(Ω)W^{1,p}_0(\Omega) of the problem. Similar result also holds for the dual problem.
