Let u be a week solution of homogeneous Dirichlet problem for a second order elliptic equation of divergence form, in a bounded open subset of ℝn. We prove, that if the right hand side of the equation is an element of H−1, n(Ω), then u belongs to the Orlicz space LΦ where Φ(t) = exp(|t|n/(n−1)) − 1. We employ the properties of the Schwartz symmetrization thus obtaining the “best” constant of the estimate.
