arXiv:2509.17690

summary

The paper introduces a new definition of weak solutions for the Poisson problem on uniform domains with rough boundaries and proves pointwise boundary regularity up to second derivatives under suitable smoothness assumptions on the data and the domain.

Abstract

In this paper, we study the boundary pointwise regularity for the Poisson problem on domains with rough boundaries, specifically uniform domains. In general, it is not straightforward to define weak solutions for non-zero boundary data on such domains. To address this, we introduce a novel definition of weak solutions tailored to the setting of uniform domains. Remarkably, this definition allows for the analysis of the regularity of weak solutions. In particular, by establishing an energy inequality, we prove the boundary pointwise regularity by using compactness methods under the admissible condition. Furthermore, by exploiting the the linear structure of solutions with respective to the harmonic functions, we establish boundary pointwise and regularities when the boundary data and the domain boundary are pointwise and , respectively.
