We prove regularity theorems for minimizers of integral functionals of the Calculus of Variations \int f(x,Du) with non-standard growth conditions of (p,q) type |z|^p \leq f(x,z) \leq L(|z|^q+1), p < q In particular,we find that a sufficient condition for minimizers to be regular is \frac{q}{p}< \frac{n+\alpha}{n} where the function f(x,z) is \alpha-Holder continuous with respect to the x-variable and x \in \Omega \subset R^n; this condition is also sharp.

Abstract

We prove regularity theorems for minimizers of integral functionals of the Calculus of Variations \int f(x,Du) with non-standard growth conditions of (p,q) type |z|^p \leq f(x,z) \leq L(|z|^q+1), p < q In particular,we find that a sufficient condition for minimizers to be regular is \frac{q}{p}< \frac{n+\alpha}{n} where the function f(x,z) is \alpha-Holder continuous with respect to the x-variable and x \in \Omega \subset R^n; this condition is also sharp. We include results in the setting of Orlicz spaces; moreover,we treat certain relaxed functionals too. Finally,we address a problem posed by Marcellini in [43], showing a minimizer with an isolated singularity.
