The aim of our book is the investigation of the behavior of strong and weak solutions to the regular oblique derivative problems for second order elliptic equations, linear and quasi-linear, in the neighborhood of the boundary singularities. The main goal is to establish the precise exponent of the solution decrease rate and under the best possible conditions. The question on the behavior of solutions of elliptic boundary value problems near boundary singularities is of great importance for its many applications, e.g., in hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, fracture mechanics, in the geodesy etc. Only few works are devoted to the regular oblique derivative problems for second order elliptic equations in non-smooth domains. All results are given with complete proofs. The monograph will be of interest to graduate students and specialists in elliptic boundary value problems and their applications.
