Abstract

In our preceding papers, we obtained necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an (n−1)-dimensionally continuous solution of the Dirichlet problem in a bounded domain Q ⊂ ℝ n under natural restrictions imposed on the coefficients of the general second-order elliptic equation, but these conditions were formulated in terms of an auxiliary operator equation in a special Hilbert space and are difficult to verify. We here obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the problem solvability in terms of the initial problem for a somewhat narrower class of right-hand sides of the equation and also prove that the obtained conditions become the solvability conditions in the space W 1 2 (Q) under the additional requirement that the boundary function belongs to the space W 1/2 2 (∂Q).
