Abstract:
We consider the Dirichlet problem
for two second-order elliptic operators , , in a bounded Lipschitz domain . The coefficients belong to the space of bounded mean oscillation with a suitable small modulus. We assume that is regular in for some , , that is, for all continuous boundary data . Here is the surface measure on and is the nontangential maximal operator. The aim of this paper is to establish sufficient conditions on the difference of the coefficients that will assure the perturbed operator to be regular in for some , .
