Abstract

We construct a bounded C1C^{1} domain Ω\Omega in RnR^{n} for which the H3/2H^{3/2} regularity for the Dirichlet and Neumann problems for the Laplacian cannot be improved, that is, there exists ff in C(Ω)C^{\infty}(\overline\Omega) such that the solution of Δu=f\Delta u=f in Ω\Omega and either u=0u=0 on Ω\partial\Omega or _nu=0\partial\_{n} u=0 on Ω\partial\Omega is contained in H3/2(Ω)H^{3/2}(\Omega) but not in H3/2+ε(Ω)H^{3/2+\varepsilon}(\Omega) for any ϵ>0\epsilon>0. An analogous result holds for LpL^{p} Sobolev spaces with p(1,)p\in(1,\infty).
