Abstract

Li and Vogelius, and Li and Nirenberg obtained piecewise C1,γC^{1,\gamma}-regularity for linear elliptic problems with piecewise CγC^{\gamma}-coefficients which come from composite materials. In this paper, we obtain piecewise Cm+1,γC^{m+1,\gamma}-regularity for linear elliptic systems with piecewise Cm,γC^{m,\gamma}-coefficients which also come from composite materials. This answers the open problem suggested by Li and Vogelius, and Li and Nirenberg.

Comments

The results and the key idea of this paper was announced at 'International Conference on Partial Differential Equations Related to Material Science', May 6-9, 2021. One long paper is splitted into two papers 'Gradient type estimates for linear elliptic systems from composite materials' and 'Piecewise smoothness for linear elliptic systems with piecewise smooth coefficients'
