Abstract

We prove the solvability of the parabolic LpL^p Dirichlet boundary value problem for 1<p1 < p \leq \infty for a PDE of the form ut=\mboxdiv(Au)+Buu_t = \mbox{div} (A \nabla u) + B \cdot \nabla u on time-varying domains where the coefficients A=[aij(X,t)]A= [a_{ij}(X, t)] and B=[bi]B=[b_i] satisfy a certain natural small Carleson condition. This result brings the state of affairs in the parabolic setting up to the elliptic standard. Furthermore, we establish that if the coefficients of the operator A,BA,\,B satisfy a vanishing Carleson condition and the time-varying domain is of VMO type then the parabolic LpL^p Dirichlet boundary value problem is solvable for all 1<p1 < p \leq \infty. This result is related to results in papers by Maz\'ya, Mitrea and Shaposhnikova, and Hofmann, Mitrea and Taylor where the fact that boundary of domain has normal in VMO or near VMO implies invertibility of certain boundary operators in LpL^p for all 1<p1 < p \leq \infty which then (using the method of layer potentials) implies solvability of the LpL^p boundary value problem in the same range for certain elliptic PDEs. Our result does not use the method of layer potentials, since the coefficients we consider are too rough to use this technique but remarkably we recover LpL^p solvability in the full range of pp's as the two papers mentioned above.
