Abstract

We consider the mixed boundary value problem, or Zaremba's problem, for the Laplacian in a bounded Lipschitz domain Ω in Rⁿ, n ≥ 2. We decompose the boundary ∂Ω= D ∪ N with D and N disjoint. The boundary between D and N is assumed to be a Lipschitz surface in ∂Ω. We find an exponent q₀ > 1 so that for p between 1 and q₀ we may solve the mixed problem for L^p. Thus, if we specify Dirichlet data on D in the Sobolev space W^1,p(D) and Neumann data on N in L^p (N), the mixed problem with data f_D and f_N has a unique solution and the non-tangential maximal function of the gradient lies in L^p(∂Ω). We also obtain results for p = 1 when the data comes from Hardy spaces.
