The paper deals with higher integrability of weak solutions to quasilinear elliptic and parabolic systems with controlled growth on Reifenberg flat domains. The considered systems are of the type \[ D_{\alpha }(A_{ij}^{\alpha \beta }(x)D_{\beta }u^j(x)+ A_i^{\alpha }(x,u)= b_i(x,u,Du)\;\text{a.e. on }\;\Omega, \tag{1} \] \[ u(x)= 0 \;\text{ on }\;\partial \Omega \] in the elliptic case. Its parabolic counterpart reads \[ u_t^i - D_{\alpha }(A_{ij}^{\alpha \beta }(x)D_{\beta }u^j(x)+ a_i^{\alpha }(x,u)= b_i(x,u,Du)\;\text{ a.e. on }\;Q=\Omega \times (0,T),\tag{2} \] \[ u(x)= 0 \;\text{ on }\;\partial \Omega \times (0,T). \] The domain \(\Omega \) is Reifenberg \((\delta, R)\) flat, the coefficient matrix \(A\) is bounded, elliptic and \((\delta ,R)\) vanishing. In lower-order terms the coefficients \(a,b\) are Carathéodory functions and in the elliptic case satisfy the estimates \[ a_i^{\alpha }(x,u)= O(\varphi_1(x) + | u| ^{\frac {n}{n+2}}), \] \[ b_i(x,u, z)= O(\varphi_2(x) + | u| ^{\frac {n + 2}{n - 2}}), \] where \(\varphi_1 \in L^p(\Omega)\) with \(p> 2\); \(\varphi_2 \in L^q(\Omega)\) with \(q>\frac {2n}{n+2}\). The assumptions in the parabolic case are \[ | a_i^{\alpha }(x,u)| \leq \Lambda (\psi_1(x,t) + | u| ^{\frac {n+2}{n}}), \] \[ | b_i(x,u, z)| \leq \Lambda (\psi_2(x,t) + | u| ^{\frac {n + 4}{n}} + | z| ^{\frac {n+4}{n+2}}), \] where \(\psi_1 \in L^p(Q)\) with \(p> 2\); \(\psi_2 \in L^q(Q)\) with \(q>\frac {2(n+2)}{n+4}\). In the elliptic case the author proves: Theorem 2.3: Let \(u \in W^{1,2}_0(\Omega; R^N)\cap L^{\infty }(\Omega; R^N)\) be a weak solution to (1) under the above-cited conditions. Then there exists \(\delta_0>0\) such that if \(\Omega \) is \((\delta, R)\) flat and \(A_{ij}^{\alpha \beta }\) are \((\delta, R)\) vanishing with a positive \(\delta < \delta_0 <1\), then \(u \in W^{1,r}_0(\Omega ;R^N)\cap L^\infty (\Omega; R^N)\) with \(r = \min (p,q^*)\). Here \(q^*\) is Sobolev conjugate to \(q\), i.e. \(q^{*} = \frac {nq}{n-q}\) for \(q<n\) and \(q^{*} > 1\) arbitrary for \(q \geq n\). In the parabolic case the author obtains: Theorem 3.1: Let \(u \in W^{1,2}_{0,*}(Q;R^N)\cap L^{\infty }(Q; R^N)\) be a weak solution to (1) under the above-cited conditions. Then there exists \(\delta_0 > 0\) such that if \(\Omega \) is \((\delta, R)\) flat and \(A_{ij}^{\alpha \beta }\) are \((\delta, R)\) vanishing with a positive \(\delta < \delta_0 <1\), then \(u \in W^{1,r}_{0,*}(Q;R^N)\cap L^\infty (Q; R^N)\) with \(r = \min (p,q^*)\). The space \(W^{1,r}_*(Q;R^N) = L^r(0,T; W^{1,r}(\Omega; R^N))\cap W^{1,r}(0,T; W^{-1,r'}(\Omega; R^N))\) consists of those functions \(u \in W^{1,0}_r(Q; R^N)\) for which there exist functions \( g \in L^r(Q; R^N)\) and \(F \in L^r(Q; M^{N\times n})\) such that \(u_t = \text{div}F - g\) a.e. on \(Q\) in the distribution sense. Moreover, \(\| u\|_{W^{1,r}_{*}(Q;R^N)}= \| u\|_{W^{1,0}_r(Q;R^N)} + \inf \left \{\int_Q | F| ^r + | g| ^r)\right \}\). The closure of \(C_0^{\infty }(Q;R^N)\) in this norm is denoted \(W^{1,r}_{0,*}(Q;R^N)\).
