The Method of A-Harmonic Approximation and Boundary Regularity for Nonlinear Elliptic Systems under the Natural Growth Condition

We consider the questions of boundary regularity for weak solutions of second-order nonlinear elliptic systems under the natural growth condition. We obtain a general criterion for a weak solution to be regular in the neighborhood of a given boundary point. The proof yields directly the optimal regularity for the solution in this neighborhood. This result is new for the situation under the natural growth conditions.
