Hölder continuity for sub-elliptic systems under the sub-quadratic controllable growth in Carnot groups (Q2438317)

Summary: This paper is devoted to optimal partial regularity of weak solutions to nonlinear sub-elliptic systems for the case \(1<m<2\) under the controllable growth condition in Carnot groups. We begin with establishing a Sobolev-Poincaré type inequality for the function \(u\in HW^{1,m}(\varOmega , \mathbb R^n)\) with \(m\in (1,2)\), and the partial regularity with optimal local Hölder exponent for horizontal gradients of weak solutions to the system is established by using \(\mathcal{A}\)-harmonic approximation technique.
