Optimal partial regularity of second order nonlinear elliptic systems with Dini continuous coefficients for the superquadratic case

Abstract

We consider the regularity for weak solutions of second order nonlinear elliptic systems with Dini continuous coefficients for the superquadratic case under natural growth condition, and obtain a general criterion for a weak solution to be regular in the neighborhood of a given point. In particular, the proof yields directly the optimal Hölder exponent for the derivative of the weak solutions on the regular set.
