Abstract

We prove that every sense-preserving harmonic KK--quasiconformal homeomorphism f ⁣:DΩf\colon D\to\Omega between Lyapunov domains (equivalently, bounded C1,αC^{1,\alpha} domains) in Rn\mathbb{R}^n, α(0,1]\alpha\in(0,1], is globally Lipschitz on D\overline D. The argument is based on a boundary iteration scheme: an initial H\"older modulus for the boundary trace (coming from quasiconformality) is improved via the C1,αC^{1,\alpha} graph representation of Ω\partial\Omega, yielding higher H\"older regularity for the normal component. This boundary gain is converted into a near-boundary gradient bound for harmonic functions through a basepoint boundary H\"older-to-gradient estimate obtained by flattening the boundary and using local harmonic-measure bounds. Quasiconformality then propagates the resulting control from one component to the full differential, and iteration gives boundedness of Df|Df| up to the boundary. Along the way we briefly survey several standard tools from the theory of quasiconformal harmonic mappings (QCH), including boundary H\"older continuity, distortion of derivatives, and boundary-to-interior propagation principles that enter the iteration.
