Abstract

We consider the Robin boundary value problem div(Au)=divf+F\mathrm{div} (A \nabla u) = \mathrm{div} \mathbf{f}+F in Ω\Omega, C1\mathcal{C}^1 domain, with (Auf)n+αu=g(A \nabla u - \mathbf{f})\cdot \mathbf{n} + \alpha u = g on Γ\Gamma, where the matrix AA belongs to VMO(R3)VMO (\mathbb{R}^3) , and discover the uniform estimates on uW1,p(Ω)\|u\|_{W^{1,p}(\Omega)}, with 1<p<1 < p < \infty, independent on α\alpha. At the difference with the case p=2,p = 2, which is simpler, we call here the weak reverse H\"older inequality. This estimates show that the solution of Robin problem converges strongly to the solution of Dirichlet (resp. Neumann) problem in corresponding spaces when the parameter α\alpha tends to \infty (resp. 00).
