A priori Estimates and Existence for Elliptic Systems via Bootstrap in Weighted Lebesgue Spaces

Abstract

We present a new general method to obtain regularity and a priori estimates for solutions of semilinear elliptic systems in bounded domains. This method is based on a bootstrap procedure, used alternatively on each component, in the scale of weighted Lebesgue spaces Lpδ(Ω)=Lp(Ωδ(x) dx), where δ(x) is the distance to the boundary. Using this method, we significantly improve the known existence results for various classes of elliptic systems.
