Regularity of quasi-\(n\)-harmonic mappings into NPC spaces (Q1736330): Difference between revisions

Let \(\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n}\) be an open domain and \(X\) be a metric space. If \(\Omega^{\prime }\subseteq\Omega\) is a relatively compact subdomain in \(\Omega\), then \(E_{n}\left( u|_{\Omega^{\prime}}\right) \) denotes the \(n\)-energy \(\ \)\ of \(u|_{\Omega^{\prime}}\). Let \(Q\geq1\), then the mapping \(u:\Omega\rightarrow X\), \(u\in W^{1,n}\left( \Omega,X\right) \) is called \(Q\)-quasi-\(n\)-harmonic if \(E_{n}\left( u|_{\Omega^{\prime}}\right) \leq Q\cdot E_{n}\left( v|_{\Omega^{\prime}}\right) \) for every relatively compact subdomain \(\Omega^{\prime}\subseteq\Omega\) and every \(v\in W^{1,n}\left( \Omega ,X\right) \) such that \(u=v\) a.e. in \(\Omega\backslash\Omega^{\prime}\). The authors study Hölder's continuity of \(Q\)-quasi-\(n\)-harmonic mappings from \(\Omega\) into a non-positively curved Aleksandrov's metric space \(X\) (i.e., \(X\) is an Aleksandov space of curvature \(\leq0\) in which geodesics depend continuously on their end points). The authors prove local Hölder's continuity of \(Q\)-quasi-\(n\)-harmonic mappings from \(\Omega\) into Aleksandrov spaces of non-positive curvature and establish the global Hölder's continuity when \(\Omega\) is a bounded Lipschitz domain.
