Harnack inequality for a class of functionals with non-standard growth via De Giorgi's method (Q1748282)

The paper deals with the regularity problem for quasi-minimizers of functionals with non-standard growth conditions modelled by \[ w\in W^{1,1}(\Omega) \mapsto \int_\Omega |Dw|^{p(x)}\log \big( e+|Dw|\big)dx, \] where \(p: \Omega\to(1,\infty)\) is a continuous function satisfying \[ 1<\gamma_1\leq p(x)\leq \gamma_2<\infty. \] The author derives a Harnack inequality and, as consequence, proves local boundedness and Hölder continuity of the quasi-minimizers by using substantially the technique elaborated in [\textit{P. Harjulehto} et al., J. Math. Anal. Appl. 344, No. 1, 504--520 (2008; Zbl 1145.49023)].
