We consider a possibly multiply connected bounded open subset $\Omega$ of ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ of class $C^{\max\{1,m\},\alpha}$ for some $m\in {\mathbb{N}}$, $\alpha\in]0,1[$ and we plan to solve both the Dirichlet and the Neumann problem for…

We establish $L^p$ solvability of the Dirichlet problem, for some finite $p$, in a 1-sided chord-arc domain $\Omega$ (i.e., a uniform domain with Ahlfors-David regular boundary), for elliptic equations of the form \[ Lu=-\text{div}(A\nabla…
