We show that, under general conditions, the operator $\bigl (-\nabla \cdot \mu \nabla +1\bigr)^{1/2}$ with mixed boundary conditions provides a topological isomorphism between $W^{1,p}_D(\Omega)$ and $L^p(\Omega)$, for $p \in {]1,2[}$ if…

The theory of second order complex coefficient operators of the form $\mathcal{L}=\mbox{div} A(x)\nabla$ has recently been developed under the assumption of $p$-ellipticity. In particular, if the matrix $A$ is $p$-elliptic, the solutions…

We study an elliptic operator $L:=\mathrm{div}(A\nabla \cdot)$ on the upper half plane $\mathbb{R}^2_+$. There are several conditions on the behavior of the matrix $A$ in the transversal $t$-direction that yield $\omega\in…

We study the homogeneous elliptic systems of order $2\ell$ with real constant coefficients on Lipschitz domains in $R^n$, $n\ge 4$. For any fixed $p>2$, we show that a reverse H\"older condition with exponent $p$ is necessary and sufficient…

Given a domain above a Lipschitz graph, we establish solvability results for strongly elliptic second-order systems in divergence-form, allowed to have lower-order (drift) terms, with $L^p$-boundary data for $p$ near $2$ (more precisely, in…

In this paper, we continue the study of a class of second order elliptic operators of the form $\mathcal L=\mbox{div}(A\nabla\cdot)$ in a domain above a Lipschitz graph in $\mathbb R^n,$ where the coefficients of the matrix $A$ satisfy a…

We introduce a new condition on elliptic operators $L= {1/2}\triangle + b \cdot \nabla $ which ensures the validity of the Liouville property for bounded solutions to $Lu=0$ on $\R^d$. Such condition is sharp when $d=1$. We extend our…

We consider divergence form elliptic operators of the form $L=-\dv A(x)\nabla$, defined in $R^{n+1} = \{(x,t)\in R^n \times R \}$, $n \geq 2$, where the $L^{\infty}$ coefficient matrix $A$ is $(n+1)\times(n+1)$, uniformly elliptic, complex…
