Abstract

We study the inhomogeneous conormal derivative problem for the divergence form elliptic equation, assuming that the principal coefficients belong to the BMO space with small BMO semi-norms and that the boundary is $\delta$-Reifenberg flat. These conditions for the $W^{1, p}$-theory not only weaken the requirements on the coefficients but also lead to a more general geometric condition on the domain. In fact, the Reifenberg flatness is the minimal regularity condition for the $W^{1, p}$-theory.
