Gradient continuity for \(p(\cdot)\)-Laplace systems (Q299241)

The paper deals with weak solutions \(u:\Omega\to\mathbb{R}^m\) to the elliptic \(p(\cdot)\)-Laplace system NEWLINE\[NEWLINE -\operatorname{div}\left(a(x)|Du|^{p(x)-2}Du\right)=F, NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n\) is an open and bounded set and \(a,p:\Omega\to\mathbb{R}\) satisfy NEWLINE\[NEWLINE 0<\nu\leq a(x)\leq\Lambda,\qquad 1<\gamma_1\leq p(x)\leq \gamma_2. NEWLINE\]NEWLINE Assuming Dini continuity of the coefficients \(a\) and log-Dini continuity of \(p\), that is, \(\int_0 \omega_p(\rho)\log(1/\rho)\;d\rho/\rho\) with modulus of continuity \(\omega_p\), the author proves continuity of the gradient \(Du\) whenever the right-hand side \(F\) belongs to the Lorentz space \(L^{n,1}(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^m)\).
