Abstract

We prove that for any second-order, homogeneous, N×NN \times N elliptic system LL with constant complex coefficients in Rn\mathbb{R}^n, the Dirichlet problem in R+n\mathbb{R}^n_+ with boundary data in CMO(Rn1,CN)\mathrm{CMO}(\mathbb{R}^{n-1}, \mathbb{C}^N) is well-posed under the assumption that dμ(x,t):=u(x)2tdxdtd\mu(x', t) := |\nabla u(x)|^2\, t \, dx' dt is a strong vanishing Carleson measure in R+n\mathbb{R}^n_+ in some sense. This solves an open question posed by Martell et al. The proof relies on a quantitative Fatou-type theorem, which not only guarantees the existence of the pointwise nontangential boundary trace for smooth null-solutions satisfying a strong vanishing Carleson measure condition, but also includes a Poisson integral representation formula of solutions along with a characterization of CMO(Rn1,CN)\mathrm{CMO}(\mathbb{R}^{n-1}, \mathbb{C}^N) in terms of the traces of solutions of elliptic systems. Moreover, we are able to establish the well-posedness of the Dirichlet problem in R+n\mathbb{R}^n_+ for a system LL as above in the case when the boundary data belongs to XMO(Rn1,CN)\mathrm{XMO}(\mathbb{R}^{n-1}, \mathbb{C}^N), which lines in between CMO(Rn1,CN)\mathrm{CMO}(\mathbb{R}^{n-1}, \mathbb{C}^N) and VMO(Rn1,CN)\mathrm{VMO}(\mathbb{R}^{n-1}, \mathbb{C}^N). Analogously, we formulate a new brand of strong Carleson measure conditions and a characterization of XMO(Rn1,CN)\mathrm{XMO}(\mathbb{R}^{n-1}, \mathbb{C}^N) in terms of the traces of solutions of elliptic systems.
