Abstract

If the smooth vector fields X1,,XmX_1,\ldots,X_m and their commutators span the tangent space at every point in ΩRN\Omega\subseteq \mathbb{R}^N for any fixed mNm\leq N, then we establish the full interior regularity theory of quasi-linear equations i=1mXiAi(X1u,,Xmu)=0\sum_{i=1}^m X_i^*A_i(X_1u, \ldots,X_mu)= 0 with pp-Laplacian type growth condition. In other words, we show that a weak solution of the equation is locally C1,αC^{1,\alpha}.
