The L^p Boundary Value Problems on Lipschitz Domains

Abstract

We develop a new approach to the invertibility of the layer potentials on $L^p$ associated with elliptic equations and systems in Lipschitz domains. As a consequence, for $n\ge 4$ and $(2(n-1)/(n+1))-\epsilon <p<2$, we obtain the solvability of the L^p Neumann type boundary value problems for second order elliptic systems. The analogous results for the biharmonic equation are also established.
