The methods that we use are estimates on harmonic measure, and the method of layer potentials. The nature of our techniques applied to $D_2$ for $L$ and $R_2$ for $L^t$ leads us to impose a specific size condition on ${\\rm div}b$ in order to obtain solvability. On the other hand, we show that $R_2$ for $L$ and $D_2$ for $L^t$ are uniquely solvable, assuming only that $A$ is Lipschitz continuous (and not necessarily symmetric) and $b$ is bounded.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-01-28T23:28:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "boundary value problems", "second order elliptic operators", "adjoint operators", "solvability", "regularity problem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
