## Abstract We study the regularity in Sobolev spaces of the solution of transmission problems in a polygonal domain of the plane, with unilateral boundary conditions of Signorini's type in a part of the boundary and Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions on the remainder part. We use a penalizat

Abstract
We consider some transmission problems for the Laplace operator in twoβdimensional domains. Our goal is to give minimal regularity of the solutions, better than H^1^, with or without conditions on the (positive) material constants. Under a monotonicity or quasiβmonotonicity condition on the constants (or on the inverses according to the boundary conditions), we study the behaviour of the solution near vertex and near interior nodes and show in each case that the given regularity is sharp. Without condition we prove that the regularity near a corner is of the form H^1+Ο^, where Ο is a given bound depending on the material constants. Numerical examples are presented which confirm the sharpness of our lower bounds. Copyright Β© 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

## Abstract We first study the minimizers, in the class of convex functions, of an elliptic functional with nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We prove __C__^1^ regularity of the minimizers under the assumption that the upper envelope of admissible functions is __C__^1^. This condition i
We characterize the primitives of the minimal extension of the Lebesgue integral which also integrates the derivatives of differentiable functions (called the Cintegral). Then we prove that each BV function is a multiplier for the C-integral and that the product of a derivative and a BV function is
