Local gradient estimates for degenerate elliptic equations

Abstract: This paper is focused on the local interior

W^{1, i n f t y}

-regularity for weak solutions of degenerate elliptic equations of the form

e x t d i v [m a t h b f a (x, u, a b l a u)] + b (x, u, a b l a u) = 0

, which include those of

p

-Laplacian type. We derive an explicit estimate of the local

L^{i} n f t y

-norm for the solution's gradient in terms of its local

L^{p}

-norm. Specifically, we prove �egin{equation*} |

abla u|_{L^infty(B_{frac{R}{2}}(x_0))}^p leq frac{C}{|B_R(x_0)|}int_{B_R(x_0)}|

abla u(x)|^p dx. end{equation*} This estimate paves the way for our forthcoming work in establishing

W^{1, q}

-estimates (for

q > p

) for weak solutions to a much larger class of quasilinear elliptic equations.
