Solvability and regularity for an elliptic system prescribing the curl, divergence, and partial trace of a vector field on Sobolev-class domains (Q1682302)

The paper deals with solvability and regularity issues for the Hodge-type elliptic system \[ \begin{cases} \text{curl }\mathbf{u}=\mathbf{f} & \text{ in }\;\Omega,\\ \text{div }\mathbf{u}=g & \text{ in }\;\Omega, \end{cases} \] over a smooth enough Sobolev-class bounded domain \(\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n,\) with boundary conditions given by either \[ \mathbf{u}\cdot \mathbf{N}=h\quad \text{ on }\;\partial\Omega, \] or \[ \mathbf{u}\times \mathbf{N}=\mathbf{h}\quad \text{on}\;\partial\Omega, \] where \(\mathbf{N}\) is the outward normal to \(\partial\Omega.\) Assuming that \(\Omega\) is a \(H^{k+1}\)-domain with an integer \(k>n/2,\) the authors prove that the solution \(\mathbf{u}\) belongs to the Sobolev class \(H^{k+1}(\Omega)\) if divergence, curl, and either the normal or tangential trace of \(\mathbf{u}\) obey sufficient regularity.
