Abstract

Interface problems for second order quasi–linear elliptic partial differential equations in a two–dimensional space are studied. We prove that each weak solution can be decomposed into two parts near singular points, one of which is a finite sum of functions of the form cr α logm rϕ (θ), where the coefficients c depend on the H 1–norm of the solution, the C 0,δ–norm of the solution, and the equation only; and the other one of which is a regular one, the norm of which is also estimated.
