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 Lp. Thus, if we specify Dirichlet data on D in the Sobolev space W1,p(D) and Neumann data on N in Lp (N), the mixed problem with data fD and fN has a unique solution and the non-tangential maximal function of the gradient lies in Lp(∂Ω). We also obtain results for p = 1 when the data comes from Hardy spaces.
