For $R_2$ we establish existence and uniqueness assuming that $\\mathcal{L}$ is of the form $\\mathcal{L}u=-\\text{div}(A\\nabla u+bu)+c\\nabla u+du$, where the matrix $A$ is uniformly elliptic and H\\\"older continuous, $b$ is H\\\"older continuous, and $c,d$ belong to Lebesgue classes and they satisfy either the condition $d\\geq\\text{div}b$, or $d\\geq\\text{div}c$ in the sense of distributions. In particular, $A$ is not assumed to be symmetric, and there is no smallness assumption on the norms of the lower order coefficients. We also show existence and uniqueness for $D_2$ for the adjoint equations $\\mathcal{L}^tu=0$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-09-12T21:02:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "lower order coefficients", "boundary value problems", "lipschitz domains", "second order elliptic equations", "layer potentials" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 50, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
