Abstract:

We consider vector-valued weak solutions $u \in u_0 + W^{1,2}_0(\Omega,R^N) \cap L^{\infty}(\Omega,R^N)$ of second order nonlinear elliptic systems of the type \[ - div a (\cdot,u,Du) = b(\cdot,u,Du) \qquad in \Omega \] with an inhomogeneity satisfying a natural growth condition. In dimensions $n \in \{2,3,4\}$ we show that $\mathcal{H}^{n-1}$-almost every boundary point is a regular point for $Du$, provided that the boundary data and the coefficients are sufficiently smooth.
