Second-derivative estimate at a flat Dirichlet boundary
ID: second-derivative-estimate-at-a-flat-dirichlet-boundary
For a classical solution of on a half-ball with zero data on its flat face, a tangential Caccioppoli inequality controls every second partial derivative having at least one tangential index. The equation recovers the remaining second normal derivative. The resulting Sobolev norm estimate has a dimension-only constant for the fixed radii one and two. Nonzero data are handled by homogenization of Dirichlet boundary data, adding the norm of the supplied boundary extension. No condition is imposed on the curved face because the smooth cutoff function vanishes there.
