Boundary regularity of stationary biharmonic maps

We consider the Dirichlet problem for stationary biharmonic maps $u$ from a bounded, smooth domain $Ω\subset\mathbb R^n$ ($n\ge 5$) to a compact, smooth Riemannian manifold $N\subset\mathbb R^l$ without boundary. For any smooth boundary data, we show that if, in addition, $u$ satisfies a certain boundary monotonicity inequality, then there exists a closed subset $Σ\subset\barΩ$, with $H^{n-4}(Σ)=0$, such that $u\in C^\infty(\barΩ\setminusΣ, N)$.
