On the improved interior regularity of the solution of a fourth order elliptic problem modelling the displacement of a linearly elastic shallow shell lying subject to an obstacle
In this paper we show that the solution of an obstacle problem for linearly elastic shallow shells enjoys higher differentiability properties in the interior of the domain where it is defined.
