Abstract. Given a number L ≥ 1, a weakly L-quasiregular map on a domain Ω in space R n is a map u in a Sobolev spaceIn this paper, we study the problem concerning linear boundary values of weakly L-quasiregular mappings in space R n with dimension n ≥ 3. It turns out this problem depends on the power p of the underlying Sobolev space. For p not too far below the dimension n we show that a weakly quasiregular map in W 1,p (Ω; R n ) can only assume a quasiregular linear boundary value; however, for all L ≥ 1 and 1 ≤ p < nL L+1 , we prove a rather surprising existence result that every linear map can be the boundary value of a weakly L-quasiregular map in W 1,p (Ω; R n ).
