Abstract

We consider generalized solutions to the Dirichlet problem for linear elliptic second order equations in a domain bounded by a Dini-Lyapunov surface and containing a conical point. For such solutions we derive Dini estimates for the first order generalized derivatives.

Keywords

elliptic equations, nonsmooth domains, Dini continuous, smoothness of generalized solutions
