In this article, we present a simpler and alternative proof of the solvability of the regularity problem - that is, the Dirichlet problem with boundary data in $\dot W^{1,p}$ - for uniformly elliptic operators on $\mathbb{R}^n_+$ under a…

By using some recent results for divergence form equations, we study the $L_p$-solvability of second-order elliptic and parabolic equations in nondivergence form for any $p\in (1,\infty)$. The leading coefficients are assumed to be in…

We consider the Dirichlet problems for second order linear elliptic equations in non-divergence and divergence forms on a bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n \ge 2$: $$ -\sum_{i,j=1}^n a^{ij}D_{ij} u + b \cdot D u + cu = f…
