Hölder gradient regularity for the inhomogeneous normalized \(p(x)\)-Laplace equation (Q2124682)

The author studies the inhomogeneous normalized \(p(x)\)-Laplace equation \[-\Delta_{p(x)}^N(u)=f(x)\quad\text{in }B_1,\tag{1} \] where \begin{align*} -\Delta_{p(x)}^Nu:=-\Delta u-(p(x)-2)\frac{\langle D^2uDu,Du \rangle}{|Du|^2} \end{align*} is the normalized \(p(x)\)-Laplacian, \(B_1\subset \mathbb{R}^N\) is the open ball of radius \(1\) that is centered at the origin in the \(N\)-dimensional Euclidean space (\(N\geq 1\)), \(p\colon B_1\to \mathbb{R}\) is Lipschitz, \(1<p_{\min}:=\inf_{B_1}p \leq \sup_{B_1} p=:p_{\max}\) and \(f\in C(B_1)\) is supposed to be bounded. It is shown that viscosity solutions to (1) are locally \(C^{1,\alpha}\)-regular.
