We study inhomogeneous boundary value problems for the Laplacian in arbitrary Lipschitz domains with data in Sobolev Besov spaces. As such, this is a natural continuation of work in [Jerison and Kenig, J. Funct. Anal. (1995), 16 219] where the inhomogeneous Dirichlet problem is treated via harmonic measure techniques. The novelty of our approach resides in the systematic use of boundary integral methods. In this regard, the key results are establishing the invertibility of the classical layer potential operators on scales of Sobolev Besov spaces on Lipschitz boundaries for optimal ranges of indices. Applications to L p -based Helmholtz type decompositions of vector fields in Lipschitz domains are also presented.1998 Academic Press
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
