Abstract

In this paper, the continuity of solutions for elliptic equations in divergence form with distributional coefficients is considered. Inspired by the discussion on necessary and sufficient conditions for the form boundedness of elliptic operators by Maz'ya and Verbitsky (Acta Math. 188 (2002) 263-302 and Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 59 (2006), 1286-1329), we propose two kinds of sufficient conditions, which are some Dini decay conditions and some integrable conditions named Kato class or K1 class, to show that the weak solution of the Schrödinger type elliptic equation with distributional coefficients is continuous, and give a priori estimate which is almost optimal. These estimates can clearly show that how the coefficients and nonhomogeneous terms influence the regularity of solutions. The ln-Lipschitz regularity and Hölder regularity are also obtained as corollaries which cover the classical De Giorgi's Hölder estimates.
