Integrability for solutions to some anisotropic elliptic equations (Q412768): Difference between revisions

The authors consider the boundary value problem \[ \begin{cases} \sum_{i=1}^nD_i(a_i(x,Du(x)))=0, & x\in\Omega\cr u(x)=u_\ast(x) & x\in \partial\Omega. \end{cases} \] It is shown that higher integrability of the boundary datum \(u_\ast\) forces solutions \(u\) to have higher integrability as well. Assumptions on \(a_i(x,z)\) are suggested by the Euler equation of the anisotropic functional \[ \int_\Omega (|D_1u|^{p_1}+|D_2u|^{p_2}+\ldots+ |D_nu|^{p_n} )dx \] that is \[ |a_i(x,z)|\leq C (1+|z_i|)^{p_i-1}. \]
