Abstract

A recent result of the first author with Li and Pipher has established the extrapolation of solvability of the LpL^p parabolic Neumann problem on unbounded graph domains of the form Ω={(x,xn):xn>φ(x)}×R\Omega=\{(x',x_n):\,x_n>\varphi(x')\}\times\mathbb R, where φ:Rn1R\varphi:\mathbb R^{n-1}\to\mathbb R is a Lipschitz function. The result shows that under the assumptions that the LpL^p parabolic Neumann problem for the equation Lu=tu+\mboxdiv(Au)=0Lu=-\partial_t u+\mbox{div}(A\nabla u)=0 in Ω\Omega and also the LpL^{p'} parabolic Dirichlet problem for the adjoint equation Lu=tu+\mboxdiv(Au)=0L^*u=\partial_t u+\mbox{div}(A\nabla u)=0 in Ω\Omega are solvable, then also the LqL^q parabolic Neumann problem for the equation Lu=0Lu=0 in Ω\Omega is solvable for all 1<q<p1<q<p. However the mentioned paper does not answer the question whether the same claim is also true for domains of the form O×R\mathcal O\times\mathbb R, where O\mathcal O is a bounded Lipschitz domain (in spatial variables) since this case does not follow from our argument for the unbounded case. Indeed, the bounded Lipschitz cylinder case requires a significantly different approach which we present in this article and establish an analogous result when O\mathcal O is a bounded Lipschitz domain.
