Boundary behavior of capillary surfaces possibly with extremal boundary angles by Fei-Tsen Liang

“…For solutions to the capillarity problem possibly with the boundary contact angle θ being 0 and/or π in a relatively open portion of the boundary which is C2, we will show that if the solution is locally bounded up to this portion of boundary, the trace of the solution on this portion is piecewise Lipschitz continuous and the solution is Hölder continuous up to the boundary, provided the prescribed mean curvature is bounded from above and from below. …”
