Lipschitz regularity for minimizers of integral functionals with highly discontinuous integrands (Q581835)

The solutions of the Lagrange problem of the calculus of variations \[ \min \{\int^{b}_{a}f(u,u')dt:u(a)=\alpha,\quad u(b)=\beta \} \] are shown to be Lipschitz continuous under very mild assumptions on f. Examples showing the sharpness of the theorem are given. The proof relies upon a weak form of the Dubois-Reymond equation.
