The $L^{p'}$-solvability of the Poisson problem (with an $L^{p'}$ estimate on the non-tangential maximal function) is new even when $L=-\\Delta$ and $\\Omega$ is the unit ball. In turn, we use this result to show that, in a bounded domain with uniformly $n$-rectifiable boundary that satisfies the corkscrew condition, $L^{p'}$-solvability of the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for an operator $L=-\\operatorname{div} A\\nabla$ satisfying the Dahlberg-Kenig-Pipher condition (of arbitrarily large constant) implies solvability of the $L^p$-regularity problem for the adjoint operator $L^*=-\\operatorname{div} A^T \\nabla$, where $1/p+1/p'=1$ and $A^T$ is the transpose matrix of $A$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-07-21T15:52:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35J05", "35J15", "35J25", "35J08", "35B30", "31B20", "31B35", "42B25", "42B35", "42B37" ], "keywords": [ "regularity problem", "solvability", "poisson-dirichlet problem", "homogeneous dirichlet problem", "applications" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 65, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
