Synopsis

The Hilbert boundary value problem for a first order nonlinear elliptic system in the plane with linear boundary conditions of nonnegative index is (under suitable side conditions uniquely) solved by use of the Newton imbedding method. This constructive method is based on an a priori estimate which arises from an integral representation formula for C1-functions first developed by Haack and Wendland. The approximation procedure yields an error estimate too.
