Abstract: In this paper, we prove the boundary Lipschitz regularity and the Hopf Lemma by a unified method on Reifenberg domains for fully nonlinear elliptic equations. Precisely, if the domain Omega satisfies the exterior Reifenberg C1,mathrmDini condition at x0inpartialOmega (see Definition 1.3), the solution is Lipschitz continuous at x0; if Omega satisfies the interior Reifenberg C1,mathrmDini condition at x0 (see Definition 1.4), the Hopf lemma holds at x0. Our paper extends the results under the usual C1,mathrmDini condition.


The authors obtain pointwise boundary Lipschitz regularity and prove the Hopf lemma for the viscosity solutions of the following fully nonlinear elliptic equations \[ \begin{cases} u=S(\lambda, \Lambda,f) & \quad \text{ in } \ \Omega,\\ u=g & \quad \text{ on } \ \partial\Omega, \end{cases} \] where \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain with Reifenberg-flat boundary, and \(S(\lambda,\Lambda,f)\) denotes the Pucci class of operators with uniform constants \(\lambda\) and \(\Lambda.\) It is shown that, if \(\Omega\) in some fixed point \(x_0\in \partial\Omega\) satisfies the exterior Reifenberg \(C^{1,\mathrm{Dini}}\) condition, the solution is Lipschitz continuous at \(x_0;\) on the other side, if \(\Omega\) satisfies the interior Reifenberg \(C^{1,\mathrm{Dini}}\) condition, then the Hopf lemma holds in that point.
