Abstract
Let L be a second-order linear elliptic operator with complex coefficients. It is shown that if the Lp Dirichlet problem for the elliptic system L(u) = 0 in a fixed Lipschitz domain Ω in ℝd is solvable for some \(1 < p = {p_0} < \frac{{2\left( {d - 1} \right)}}{{d - 2}},\) then it is solvable for all p satisfying
The proof is based on a real-variable argument. It only requires that local solutions of L(u) = 0 satisfy a boundary Cacciopoli inequality.
