Combined interior and boundary elliptic regularity for the Dirichlet Laplacian on a smooth bounded domain states that, for every integer ,
when and has zero boundary trace. More generally one first has an additional term, which uniqueness and the Poincare inequality remove here.
For the shifted equation, write . The weak estimate gives . Applying the displayed estimate first with an right side gives . Repeating,
until . The lower-order term is controlled at each stage, yielding
This is boundary elliptic regularity for the shifted Dirichlet Laplacian.
