Abstract: We consider positive semistable solutions $u$ of $Lu+f(u)=0$ with zero Dirichlet boundary condition, where $L$ is a uniformly elliptic operator and $fin{C}^2$ is a positive, nondecreasing, and convex nonlinearity which is superlinear at infinity. Under these assumptions, the boundedness of all semistable solutions is expected up to dimension $nleq9$, but only established for $nleq4$. In this paper we prove the $L^{i}nfty$ bound up to dimension $n=5$ under the following further assumption on $f$: for every $varepsilon>0$, there exist $T=T(varepsilon)$ and $C=C(varepsilon)$ such that $f^{\prime }(t)leqCf(t{)}^{1+varepsilon}$ for all $t>T$. This bound follows from a $L^p$-estimate for $f^{\prime }(u)$ for every $p<3$ and $ngeq2$. Under a similar but more restrictive assumption on $f$, we also prove the $L^{i}nfty$ estimate when $n=6$. We remark that our results do not assume any lower bound on $f^{\prime }$.
