If G ⊂ Rn is a bounded or an exterior domain with sufficiently smooth boundary then for the eigenvalue problem
Δu = λ∇ div u, u|∂G = 0
λ = 1 is an eigenvalue of infinite multiplicity and λ = 2 is an accumulation point of eigenvalues of finite multiplicity. For the Lq-solutions corresponding to eigenvalues λ ∈ R\{1,2}, one can prove the existence of higher (classical) derivatives. Furthermore they do not depend on q. As an application we obtain a relationship of Green’s function to the reproducing kernel.
