Abstract: Let $ \mathbb{G}_D$ be the solution operator for $ \Delta u = f$ in $ \Omega$, Tr $ u = 0$ on $ \partial\Omega$, where $ \Omega$ is a bounded domain in $ \mathbb{R}^n$. B. E. J. Dahlberg proved that for a bounded Lipschitz domain $ \Omega, \nabla \mathbb{G}_D$ maps $ L^1 (\Omega)$ boundedly into weak- $ L^1(\Omega)$ and that there exists $ p_n > 1$ such that $ \nabla\mathbb{G}_D : L^p (\Omega)\rightarrow L^{p^{*}} (\Omega)$ is bounded for $ 1 < p < n, \frac{1}{p^*} = \frac {1}{p} - \frac {1}{n}$. In this paper, we generalize this result by addressing two aspects. First we are also able to treat the solution operator $ \mathbb{G}_N$ corresponding to Neumann boundary conditions and, second, we prove mapping properties for these operators acting on Sobolev (rather than Lebesgue) spaces.
