Abstract

In this paper, we continue the study of a class of second order elliptic operators of the form L=\mboxdiv(A)\mathcal L=\mbox{div}(A\nabla\cdot) in a domain above a Lipschitz graph in Rn,\mathbb R^n, where the coefficients of the matrix AA satisfy a Carleson measure condition, expressed as a condition on the oscillation on Whitney balls. For this class of operators, it is known (since 2001) that the LqL^q Dirichlet problem is solvable for some 1<q<1 < q < \infty. Moreover, further studies completely resolved the range of LqL^q solvability of the Dirichlet, Regularity, Neumann problems in Lipschitz domains, when the Carleson measure norm of the oscillation is sufficiently small. We show that there exists preg>1p_{reg}>1 such that for all 1<p<preg1<p<p_{reg} the LpL^p Regularity problem for the operator L=\mboxdiv(A)\mathcal L=\mbox{div}(A\nabla\cdot) is solvable. Furthermore 1preg+1q=1\frac1{p_{reg}}+\frac1{q_*}=1 where q>1q_*>1 is the number such that the LqL^q Dirichlet problem for the adjoint operator L\mathcal L^* is solvable for all q>qq>q_*. Additionally when n=2n=2, there exists pneum>1p_{neum}>1 such that for all 1<p<pneum1<p<p_{neum} the LpL^p Neumann problem for the operator L=\mboxdiv(A)\mathcal L=\mbox{div}(A\nabla\cdot) is solvable. Furthermore 1preg+1q=1\frac1{p_{reg}}+\frac1{q^*}=1 where q>1q^*>1 is the number such that the LqL^q Dirichlet problem for the operator L1=\mboxdiv(A1)\mathcal L_1=\mbox{div}(A_1\nabla\cdot) with matrix A1=A/detAA_1=A/\det{A} is solvable for all q>qq>q^*.
