Abstract

In this brief note we discuss local H\"older continuity for solutions to anisotropic elliptic equations of the type i=1siiu+i=s+1Ni(Ai(x,u,u))=0, \sum_{i=1}^s \partial_{ii} u+ \sum_{i=s+1}^N \partial_i \bigg(A_i(x,u,\nabla u) \bigg) =0, for xΩRNx \in \Omega \subset \subset \mathbb{R}^N and 1sN11\leq s \leq N-1, where each operator AiA_i behaves directionally as the singular pp-Laplacian, 1<p<21< p < 2 and the supercritical condition p+(Ns)(p2)>0p+(N-s)(p-2)>0 holds true. We show that the Harnack inequality can be proved without the continuity of solutions and that in turn this implies H\"older continuity of solutions.
