A boundary estimate for nonlinear equations with discontinuous coefficients. (Q1848291): Difference between revisions

This paper considers the following \(p\)-Laplacian type equation: \(\text{div} \bigl((ADu \cdot Du) ^{(p-2)/2}ADu\bigr) = \text{div} \bigl(| F| ^{p-2} F\bigr)\), where \(A\) is a symmetric \(n\times n\) matrix with measurable coefficients satisfying a uniform ellipticity condition and with ``vanishing mean oscillation'' (VMO), and \(F\) is \(q\)-integrable for some \(q>p\). The authors establish boundary and global \(W^{1,q}\)-estimates for weak solutions. This is a continuation of an earlier work by the same authors [Commun. Partial Differ. Equations 24, 2043--2068 (1999; Zbl 0941.35026)], where interior \(q\)-integrability for the gradient of weak solutions is derived.
