Abstract

We show that, under general conditions, the operator (μ+1)1/2\bigl (-\nabla \cdot \mu \nabla +1\bigr)^{1/2} with mixed boundary conditions provides a topological isomorphism between WD1,p(Ω)W^{1,p}_D(\Omega) and Lp(Ω)L^p(\Omega), for p]1,2[p \in {]1,2[} if one presupposes that this isomorphism holds true for p=2p=2. The domain Ω\Omega is assumed to be bounded, the Dirichlet part DD of the boundary has to satisfy the well-known Ahlfors-David condition, whilst for the points from ΩD\overline {\partial \Omega \setminus D} the existence of bi-Lipschitzian boundary charts is required.
