Abstract:

We consider integral functionals of the Calculus of Variations where the energy density is a continuous function with $p$-growth, $p>1$, uniformly convex at infinity with respect to the gradient variable. We prove that local minimizers are $\alpha$ Hölder continuous for all $\alpha<1$.

Keywords: regularity, Local minimizer, nonconvex functional
