Abstract

We construct a bounded domain Ω2 with the cone property and a harmonic function on Ω which belongs to W01,p(Ω) for all 1 ≤ p < 4/3. As a corollary we deduce that there is no Lp-Hodge decomposition in Lp(Ω,2) for all p > 4 and that the Dirichlet problem for the Laplace equation cannot be in general solved with the boundary data in W1,p(Ω) for all p > 4.

Keywords

nonuniqueness, Dirichlet problem, Laplace equation, Hodge decomposition
