Gradient regularity for non-autonomous functionals with Dini or non-Dini continuous coefficients

Paolo Baroni, Alessandra Coscia

Abstract:
We prove C1 regularity for local vectorial minimizers of the non-autonomous functional

with Ω open subset of Rn, n≥2 , p>1, 0≤a(.)≤ ||a||L(Ω)<∞, and 0<ν≤b(.)≤ L. The result is valid provided that the function a(.) is log-Dini continuous and that the coefficient b(.) is Dini continuous or it is weakly differentiable and its gradient locally belongs to the Lorentz space Ln,1(Ω;Rn).
