    On the $L^p$-theory for second-order elliptic operators in divergence form with complex coefficients
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) ter Elst, A.F.M.; Haller-Dintelmann, Robert; Rehberg, Joachim; Tolksdorf, Patrick
    Given a complex, elliptic coefficient function we investigate for which values of p the corresponding second-order divergence form operator, complemented with Dirichlet, Neumann or mixed boundary conditions, generates a strongly continuous semigroup on Lp(Ω). Additional properties like analyticity of the semigroup, H∞-calculus and maximal regularity arealso discussed. Finally we prove a perturbation result for real coefficients that gives the whole range of p's for small imaginary parts of the coefficients. Our results are based on the recent notion of p-ellipticity, reverse Hölder inequalities and Gaussian estimates for the real coefficients.
