Harmonic maps on domains with piecewise Lipschitz continuous metrics (Q363335)

Motivated by certain elliptic systems in domains consisting of composite materials and the homogenization theory in calculus of variations, the authors study harmonic maps from \((\Omega, g)\) to \((N, h)\), where \(\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n\) is a bounded domain divided into two pieces, the Riemannian metric \(g\) is Lipschitz in each piece, and \((N,h)\) is a Riemannian submanifold of \(\mathbb{R}^k\). Under certain conditions, the authors obtain consequent partial, global Lipschitz and piecewise regularities.
