Abstract

We study an elliptic operator L:=div(A)L:=\mathrm{div}(A\nabla \cdot) on the upper half space. It is known that solvability of the Regularity problem in W˙1,p\dot{W}^{1,p} implies solvability of the adjoint Dirichlet problem in LpL^{p'}. Previously, Shen (2007) established a partial reverse result. In our work, we show that if we assume an L1L^1-Carleson condition on only tA|\partial_t A| the full reverse direction holds. As a result, we obtain equivalence between solvability of the Dirichlet problem (D)p(D)^*_{p'} and the Regularity problem (R)p(R)_p under this condition. As a further consequence, we can extend the class of operators for which the LpL^p Regularity problem is solvable by operators satisfying the mixed L1LL^1-L^\infty condition. Additionally in the case of the upper half plane, this class includes operators satisfying this L1L^1-Carleson condition on tA|\partial_t A|.
