Elliptic equations with matrix weights and measurable nonlinearities on nonsmooth domains (Q6554700)

The authors consider a general elliptic equation with singular or degenerate nonlinearity of the form\N\[\N\begin{cases} \operatorname{div}\left( M(x) A(x,M(x)Du) \right) = \operatorname{div}\left( M^2(x) F \right) &\text{in }\Omega\\\Nu=0 &\text{on }\partial\Omega, \end{cases}\N\]\Nwhere \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain of \(\mathbb{R}^n\), \(n \geq 2\), with smooth boundary \(\partial\Omega\). The Carathéodory vector field \(A \colon \mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^n\) is of class \(C^1\) in the second variable and satisfies suitable growth conditions. The function \(M\), defined on \(\mathbb{R}^n\), is matrix-valued, so that \(M(x)\) is a symmetric and positive-defiite \(n \times n\) matrix for each \(x \in \mathbb{R}^n\).\N\NThe purpose of the paper is to prove that, if \(\vert M(x)F\vert \in L^\gamma(\Omega)\), then \(\vert M(x)Du\vert \in L^\gamma (\Omega)\) for every \(\gamma >2\). In addition, the global Calderón-Zygmund estimate\N\[\N\int_\Omega \vert M \, Du \vert^\gamma \, dx \leq c \int_\Omega \vert MF\vert^\gamma \, dx\N\]\Nholds.
