Abstract

In this work, we consider the following elliptic partial differential equations:

$$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{aligned} - b_{ij} \, \frac{\partial ^{2} w}{\partial x_{i} \partial x_{j}}&= g \,\,\, \text {in} \,\, \Omega , \\ w&= 0 \,\,\,\text {on} \,\partial \Omega , \end{aligned} \right\} . \end{aligned}$$

where the domain \(\Omega \subset {\mathbb {R}}^{n}\) is convex, the matrix \(\big (b_{ij}\big )_{n \times n}\) satisfies the uniform ellipticity conditions. For g in the scaling critical Lorentz space \( L(n,\, 1)(\Omega )\), we establish boundary differentiability of solutions to the above problem. We also prove \(C^{\mathrm {Log-Lip}}\) regularity estimate at a boundary point in the case when \(g \in L^{n}(\Omega )\).
