A nonvariational form of the Neumann problem for the Poisson equation

Abstract: We present a nonvariational setting for the Neumann problem for the Poisson equation for solutions that are H\"{o}lder continuous and that may have infinite Dirichlet integral. We introduce a distributional normal derivative on the boundary for the solutions that extends that for harmonic functions that has been introduced in a previous paper and we solve the nonvariational Neumann problem for data in the interior with a negative Schauder exponent and for data on the boundary that belong to a certain space of distributions on the boundary.
