Abstract: As part of his celebrated Complex Frobenius Theorem, Nirenberg showed that given a smooth elliptic structure (on a smooth manifold), the manifold is locally diffeomorphic to an open subset of $mathbb{R}^{r}imesmathbb{C}^n$ (for some $r$ and $n$) in such a way that the structure is locally the span of $fracpartialpartial{t}_1,ldots,fracpartialpartial{t}_r,fracpartialpartialoverline{z}_1,ldots,fracpartialpartialoverline{z}_n$; where $mathbb{R}^{r}imesmathbb{C}^n$ has coordinates $(t_1,ldots,t_r,z_1,ldots,z_n)$. In this paper, we give optimal regularity for the coordinate charts which achieve this realization. Namely, if the manifold has Zygmund regularity of order $s+2$ and the structure has Zygmund regularity of order $s+1$ (for some $s>0$), then the coordinate chart may be taken to have Zygmund regularity of order $s+2$. We do this by generalizing Malgrange's proof of the Newlander-Nirenberg Theorem to this setting.
