I am looking for the known results on the sufficient , or, necessary and sufficient condition on the Beltrami coefficient $\mu$ such that any solution of the equation is at least $C^1(\bar{D})$, but I would be happier to get $C^k(\bar{D}), 1\le k \le \infty$, or even real-analytic upto the boundary. By $C^k(\bar{D})$, I mean the $k$th derivative exists and is continuous upto the boundary. Holder continuity of solutions is also I would be interested in. ( Please note that I stated 'any' solution , since we know that any two solutions differ by a Mobius transformation of $D$.</p> <p>In general, I am looking for results for the boundary regularity of the solution to the Beltrami equation.</p> <p>I would highly appreciate if you state any known results on this topic , thanks in advance !</p>
