E@*‘(Q) etc. for Sobolev spaces on S2 (as in [8]) and (-, a> for the standard duality pairing between Ni (Q) and Hb (Q). When nothing else is stated, equalities and (nonstrict) inequalities on open sets between elements in function spaces are to be interpreted in the sense of distributions.The variational inequality (l)-(2) is known as the variational inequality of the obstacle problem in its simplest form ([6, Chapter II, Section 61) and the existence of a unique solution of it is a widely known fact (16, Chapter II, theorem 6.21). The regularity of the solution of (l)-(2) is also well-known and a number of different proofs of it exist. The first proof (by “penalization”) appeared in (7, theorem3. 11). See also [6, Chapter IV, Section 21. Two other proofs are in 13, corollaire II. 31 and [2, theoreme 1.11. The estimate (3) is not mentioned explicitly in these papers but it is more or less implicit in them (it follows eg from [7, corollary 3.11 and is in any case well-known).
