Abstract:
We consider multi-dimensional variational integrals \[F[u]:=\int_\Omega f(\cdot,u,Du)\,{\rm d}x \qquad\text{for }u\colon\mathbb{R}^n\supset\Omega\to\mathbb{R}^N\,,\] where the integrand $f$ is a strictly convex function of its last argument. We give an elementary proof for the partial $C^{1,\alpha}$-regularity of minimizers of $F$. Our approach is based on the method of $A$-harmonic approximation, avoids the use of Gehring’s lemma, and establishes partial regularity with the optimal Hölder exponent $\alpha$ in a single step.
