Abstract

We study the stationary Stokes system with Dini mean oscillation coefficients in a domain having $C^{1,\mathrm{Dini}}$ boundary. We prove that if $(u, p)$ is a weak solution of the system with zero Dirichlet boundary condition, then $(Du, p)$ is continuous up to the boundary. We also prove a weak type-$(1,1)$ estimate for $(Du, p)$.
