Abstract

In this note, we establish sharp regularity for solutions to the following generalized pp- Poisson equation  div (Au,up22Au)= div h+f-\ div\ \big(\langle A\nabla u,\nabla u\rangle^{\frac{p-2}{2}}A\nabla u\big)=-\ div\ \mathbf{h}+f in the plane (i.e. in Rn=R2\mathbb{R}^n=\mathbb{R}^2) for p>2p>2 in the presence of Dirichlet as well as Neumann boundary conditions and with hC1n/q\mathbf{h}\in C^{1-n/q}, fLqf\in L^q, 2=n<q2=n<q\leq\infty. The regularity assumptions on the principal part AA as well as that on the Dirichlet/Neumann conditions are exactly the same as in the linear case and therefore sharp (see Remark 2.5 below). Our main results Theorem 2.3 and Theorem 2.4 should be thought of as the boundary analogues of the sharp interior regularity result established in the recent interesting paper [1] in the case of \begin{equation}\label{e0} -\ div\ (|\nabla u|^{p-2} \nabla u) =f \end{equation} for more general variable coefficient operators and with an additional divergence term.
