On elliptic equations in a half space or in convex wedges with irregular coefficients

Abstract

We consider second-order elliptic equations in a half space with leading coefficients measurable in a tangential direction. We prove the $W_p^2$-estimate and solvability for the Dirichlet problem when $p\in (1,2]$, and for the Neumann problem when $p\in [2,\infty )$. We then extend these results to equations with more general coefficients, which are measurable in a tangential direction and have small mean oscillations in the other directions. As an application, we obtain the $W_p^2$-solvability of elliptic equations in convex wedge domains or in convex polygonal domains with discontinuous coefficients.
