چکیده

We prove C1 regularity of solutions to divergence form elliptic systems with Dini-continuous coefficients. This note addresses a question raised to the author by Haim Brezis, in connection with his solution of a conjecture of Serrin concerning divergence form second order elliptic equations (see [1] and [2]). If the coefficients of the equations (or systems) are Hölder continuous, then H1 solutions are known to have Hölder continuous first derivatives. The question is what minimal regularity assumption of the coefficients would guarantee C1 regularity of all H1 solutions. See [3] for answers to some other related questions of Haim. Consider the elliptic system for vector-valued functions u = (u1, · · · , uN ), ∂α(A αβ ij (x)∂βu ) = 0, in B4, i = 1, 2, · · · , N, where B4 is the ball in Rn of radius 4 centered at the origin. The coefficients {A ij } satisfy, for some positive constants Λ and λ, |A ij (x)| ≤ Λ, x ∈ B4, (1) ∫ B4 A ij (x)∂αη ∂βη j ≥ λ ∫ B4 |∇η|, ∀ η ∈ H 0 (B4,R ), (2) ∗Partially supported by an NSF grant.

Partial interior regularity for sub-elliptic systems with Dini continuous coefficients in Carnot groups: the sub-quadratic controllable case

We consider nonlinear sub-elliptic systems with Dini continuous coefficients for the case 1 <m < 2 in Carnot groups and prove a C1-partial regularity result for weak solutions under the controllable growth conditions. Our method of proof for sub-elliptic systems is based on a generalization of the technique ofA-harmonic approximation. It is interesting to point out that our result is optimal in...

Boundary regularity for elliptic problems with continuous coefficients

We consider weak solutions of second order nonlinear elliptic systems in divergence form or of quasi-convex variational integrals with continuous coefficients under superquadratic growth conditions. Via the method of A-harmonic approximation we give a characterization of regular boundary points using and extending some new techniques recently developed by M. Foss & G. Mingione in [15].

Nonlinear elliptic systems with Dini continuous coe cientsFrank

0 Introduction This paper will be concerned with the interior regularity theory of weak solutions to nonlinear elliptic systems of second order in divergence form of the following type: div A(x; u; Du) = 0 in : (0-1) Here is a bounded domain in IR n , u taking values in IR N , and the coeecients A(x; ; p) are in Hom(IR n ; IR N). Under natural hypotheses concerning the regularity and the growth...

On a Conjecture Of

— In 1964 J. Serrin proposed the following conjecture. Let u ∈ W1,1 loc (Ω) be a weak solution of the second order elliptic equation (1) below, in divergence form, with Hölder continuous coefficients aij (x); then u is a “classical” solution. We announce a solution of this conjecture assuming only u ∈ BVloc(Ω) and Dini continuous coefficients.

Divergence form operators in Reifenberg flat domains

We study the boundary regularity of solutions of elliptic operators in divergence form with C coefficients or operators which are small perturbations of the Laplacian in non-smooth domains. We show that, as in the case of the Laplacian, there exists a close relationship between the regularity of the corresponding elliptic measure and the geometry of the domain.
