Abstract

We study an elliptic operator L:=div(A)L:=\mathrm{div}(A\nabla \cdot) on the upper half space. It is known that if the matrix AA is independent in the transversal tt-direction, then the regularity boundary value problem is solvable with data in a Sobolev space. In the present paper we improve on the tt-independence condition by introducing a mixed L1LL^1-L^\infty condition that only depends on tA\partial_t A, the derivative of AA in transversal direction. This condition is different from other conditions in the literature and has already been proven to imply solvability of the Dirichlet boundary value problem.
