Abstract

Let ΩRn+1\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}, n2n\ge 2, be a 1-sided non-tangentially accessible domain (aka uniform domain), that is, Ω\Omega satisfies the interior Corkscrew and Harnack chain conditions, which are respectively scale-invariant/quantitative versions of openness and path-connectedness. Let us assume also that Ω\Omega satisfies the so-called capacity density condition, a quantitative version of the fact that all boundary points are Wiener regular. Consider L0u=div(A0u)L_0 u=-\mathrm{div}(A_0\nabla u), Lu=div(Au)Lu=-\mathrm{div}(A\nabla u), two real (non-necessarily symmetric) uniformly elliptic operators in Ω\Omega, and write ωL0\omega_{L_0}, ωL\omega_L for the respective associated elliptic measures. The goal of this program is to find sufficient conditions guaranteeing that ωL\omega_L satisfies an AA_\infty-condition or a RHqRH_q-condition with respect to ωL0\omega_{L_0}. In this paper we are interested in obtaining square function and non-tangential estimates for solutions of operators as before. We establish that bounded weak null-solutions satisfy Carleson measure estimates, with respect to the associated elliptic measure. We also show that for every weak null-solution, the associated square function can be controlled by the non-tangential maximal function in any Lebesgue space with respect to the associated elliptic measure. These results extend previous work of Dahlberg-Jerison-Kenig and are fundamental for the proof of the perturbation results in arXiv:1901.08261.
