We investigate the regularity of elliptic equations in double divergence form, where the leading coefficients satisfy the Dini mean oscillation condition. We prove that the solutions are differentiable on the zero level set and derive a pointwise bound for the derivative. As an application, we establish global pointwise estimates for the Green’s function of second-order uniformly elliptic operators in non-divergence form, assuming Dini mean oscillation coefficients in bounded C 1, α C^1, domains.
