On Hofmann's bilinear estimate

Abstract

Using the framework of a previous article joint with Axelsson and McIntosh, we extend to systems two results of S. Hofmann for real symmetric equations and their perturbations going back to a work of B. Dahlberg for Laplace's equation on Lipschitz domains, The first one is a certain bilinear estimate for a class of weak solutions and the second is a criterion which allows to identify the domain of the generator of the semi-group yielding such solutions.
