Abstract

This paper is devoted to optimal partial regularity of weak solutions to nonlinear sub-elliptic systems for the case 1<m<21<m<2 under the controllable growth condition in Carnot groups. We begin with establishing a Sobolev-Poincaré type inequality for the function uHW1,m(Ω),RN)u\in HW^{1,m}(\Omega),\mathbb {R}^{N}) with m(1,2)m\in (1,2), and then partial regularity with optimal local Hölder exponent for horizontal gradients of weak solutions to the systems is established by using A{\mathcal A}-harmonic approximation technique.
