Regularity of solutions for an integral system of Wolff type

We consider the fully nonlinear integral systems involving Wolff potentials:(1) whereThis system includes many known systems as special cases, in particular, when and γ=2, system (1) reduces to(2) The solutions (u,v) of (2) are critical points of the functional associated with the well-known Hardy–Littlewood–Sobolev inequality. We can show that (2) is equivalent to a system of semi-linear elliptic PDEs which comprises the well-known Lane–Emden system and Yamabe equation.We obtain integrability and regularity for the positive solutions to systems (1). A regularity lifting method by contracting operators is used in proving the integrability, and while deriving the Lipschitz continuity, a brand new idea – Lifting Regularity by Shrinking Operators is introduced. We hope to see many more applications of this new idea in lifting regularities of solutions for nonlinear problems.
