Abstract

In this paper we study the boundary behavior of solutions to equations of the form∇⋅A(x,∇u)+B(x,∇u)=0, in a domain Ω⊂Rn, assuming that Ω is a δ-Reifenberg flat domain for δ sufficiently small. The function A is assumed to be of p-Laplace character. Concerning B, we assume that |∇ηB(x,η)|⩽c|η|p−2, |B(x,η)|⩽c|η|p−1, for some constant c, and that B(x,η)=|η|p−1B(x,η/|η|), whenever x∈Rn, η∈Rn∖{0}. In particular, we generalize the results proved in J. Lewis et al. (2008) [12] concerning the equation ∇⋅A(x,∇u)=0, to equations including lower order terms.
