Solutions of the divergence operator on John domains

If Ω ⊂ Rn is a bounded domain, the existence of solutions u ∈ W01, p (Ω) of div u = f for f ∈ Lp (Ω) with vanishing mean value and 1 < p < ∞, is a basic result in the analysis of the Stokes equations. It is known that the result holds when Ω is a Lipschitz domain and that it is not val...
