On the regularity of the solutions of boundary-value problem for quasilinear elliptic systems with quadratic nonlinearity (Q676787)

Let \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n\), \(n\geq 3\), be a bounded domain of class \(C^2\) and consider the following quasilinear second-order elliptic system of \(N\) equations: \[ -\bigl( A^{\alpha \beta}_{kl} (x,u)u^l_{x_\beta} +a^k_\alpha (x,u)\bigr)_{x_\alpha } =f^k(x,u,u_x),\;k\leq N,\;x\in\Omega, \tag{1} \] with boundary conditions \[ u^k \Bigl|_{\partial\Omega} =\varphi^k(x),\;k\leq j,\quad {\partial u^{(k)} \over\partial n_A} +\sum^s_{i=1} {d\Phi^k_{(i)} (x,\widehat u) \over d T^{(i)}} \Bigr|_{\partial\Omega} =\psi^k(x,\widehat u), \tag{2} \] \(\widehat u=(u^{j+1}, \dots, u^N)\), \(k=j+1, \dots,N\), where \(\partial u^{(k)}/ \partial n_A= (A_{kl}^{\alpha\beta} (x,u) u^l_{x_\beta} +a^k_\alpha(x,u)) \cos(n,x_\alpha)\) denotes the \(k\)-th component of the conormal vector; \(n=n(x)\) is the unit outward normal to \(\partial\Omega\) at the point \(x\); \(T^{(1)} (x), \dots, T^{(s)}(x)\) \((x\in\partial \Omega,\;s\leq n-1)\) are mutually orthogonal vectors which are tangent to \(\partial\Omega\) and depend smoothly on \(x\in \partial \Omega\). Assuming strong ellipticity of the system (1) and quadratic growth of \(f^k(x,u,u_x)\) with respect to the gradient \(u_x\), the author establishes partial regularity up to the boundary for a solution \(u\in H^1(\Omega) \cap L^\infty (\Omega)\) to the problem (1), (2).
