For any fixed $p>2$, we show that a reverse H\\\"older condition with exponent $p$ is necessary and sufficient for the solvability of the Dirichlet problem with boundary data in $L^p$. We also obtain a simple sufficient condition. As a consequence, we establish the solvability of the $L^p$ Dirichlet problem for $n\\ge 4$ and $2-\\e< p<\\frac{2(n-1)}{n-3} +\\e$. The range of $p$ is known to be sharp if $\\ell\\ge 2$ and $4\\le n\\le 2\\ell +1$. For the polyharmonic equation, the sharp range of $p$ is also found in the case $n=6$, 7 if $\\ell=2$, and $n=2\\ell+2$ if $\\ell\\ge 3$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-09-26T19:31:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35J40", "35J55" ], "keywords": [ "dirichlet problem", "lipschitz domains", "solvability", "simple sufficient condition", "real constant coefficients" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math......9606S" } } }
