We establish the local Lipschitz continuity and the higher differentiability of vector-valued local minimizers of a class of energy integrals of the Calculus of Variations. The main novelty is that we deal with possibly degenerate energy…

We prove that minimizers of variational integrals $$ \mathcal E(v)=\int_\Omega f(v)\quad\text{for }v\in\mathcal M(\Omega)\text{ such that } \mathscr{A} v=0, $$ are partially continuous provided that the integrands $f$ are strongly…

We prove the higher differentiability of integer order of locally bounded minimizers of integral functionals of the form \begin{equation*} \mathcal{F}(u,\Omega):= \,\sum_{i=1}^{n} \dfrac{1}{p_i}\displaystyle \int_\Omega \, a_i(x) \lvert…

We consider the functional $\int_\Omega g(\nabla u+\textbf X^\ast)d\mathscr L^{2n}$ where $g$ is convex and $\textbf X^\ast(x,y)=2(-y,x)$ and we study the minimizers in $BV(\Omega)$ of the associated Dirichlet problem. We prove that, under…

We consider integral functionals with slow growth and explicit dependence on u of the lagrangian; this includes many relevant examples, as, for instance, in elastoplastic torsion problems or in image restoration problems. Our aim is to…

We establish the local boundedness of the local minimizers $u:\Omega\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^{m}$ of non-uniformly elliptic integrals of the form $\int_{\Omega}f(x,Dv)\,dx$, where $\Omega$ is a bounded open subset of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$…
