Boundedness of minimizers (Q756807)

The author finds conditions guaranteeing that solutions to typical problems of the calculus of variations are bounded. More precisely the following variational problem is studied: \[ \int_{G}f(u,Du)dx=\min imum,\quad u=g\text{ on } \partial G, \] where G, f, g are given; G is an open subset of Euclidean space \({\mathbb{R}}^ n\); n denotes the dimension that is greater than one; competing functions u are assumed to have scalar values; D stands for the gradient and \(dx=dx_ 1...dx_ n\), the Lebesgue n-dimensional measure. It is a nice paper with interesting proofs of the results obtained.
