Nonlinear elliptic systems with Dini continuous coefficients (Q1347776)

This paper is devoted to the interior regularity of weak solutions to nonlinear elliptic systems of second order in divergence form, that is \[ \text{div} A(x,u,Du) =0\quad \text{in }\Omega, \tag{1} \] where \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^N\), \(u\) taking values in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), and the coefficients \(A(x,\xi,p)\) are in \(\Hom (\mathbb{R}^N, \mathbb{R}^N)\). The main goal of the authors is to weaker the assumptions on \(A\) with respect to continuity in the variables \((x,\xi)\) and to show a partial regularity result with optimal estimates for the modulus of the continuity for the derivative \(Du\) under weaker assumption. To this end the authors use a generalization of the technique of harmonic approximation.
