Abstract:

We prove local gradient bounds and interior Hölder estimates for the first derivatives of functions $u \in W^{1,1}_{loc} (\Omega)$ which locally minimizes the variational integral $$I(u) = \int f (Du) \ dx$$ subject to the double side condition $\phi_1 \leq u \leq \phi_2$. We establish these results for various classes of integrands $f$ with non-standard growth. For example, in the case of smooth $f$ the $(s,m,q)$-condition is sufficient, for a suitable choice of the paramenters. A second class consists of all convex functions $f$ with $(p,q)$-growth, where $f$ is not supposed to be differentiable everywhere; the condition on $(p,q)$ is $q/p<(n+1)/n$.
