Pointwise Boundary Differentiability of Solutions of Elliptic Equations (1901.06065v1)

Abstract: In this paper, we give pointwise geometric conditions on the boundary which guarantee the differentiability of the solution at the boundary. Precisely, the geometric conditions are two parts: the proper blow up condition (see Definition 1) and the exterior Dini hypersurface condition (see Definition 2). If $\Omega$ satisfies this two conditions at $x_0\in\partial \Omega$, the solution is differentiable at $x_0$. Furthermore, counterexamples show that the conditions are optimal (see Remark 3 and the counterexample in Section 2).
