Abstract

We study the regularity up to the boundary of solutions to the nonlinear boundary value problem consisting in finding a harmonic function u in a domain with given gradient's modulus g on the boundary of the domain. This problem finds its application in the study of geophysical and geomagnetic surveys. If g is Hölder continuous and strictly positive, we prove that u is in the class of differentiable functions with Hölder continuous derivatives in the closure of the domain. Anexample shows that this is no longer true if g has some zeroes on the boundary. In this case u is proved to be of class C1 .
