Abstract:

We show that local minimizers of functionals of the form \begin{displaymath} \int\Omega \leftf(Du(x)) + g(x\,,u(x))\right\,dx, \qquad u \in u0 + W0{1,p}(\Omega), \end{displaymath} are locally Lipschitz continuous provided $f$ is a convex function with $p-q$ growth satisfying a condition of qualified convexity at infinity and $g$ is Lipschitz continuous in $u$. As a consequence of this, we obtain an existence result for a related nonconvex functional.

Keywords: existence, lipschitz continuity, Nonstandard growth
