Abstract: We consider functionals of the form ${\displaystyle }$mathcal{F}(u):=int_Omega!F(x,u, abla u),mathrm{d} x,${\displaystyle }$ where $Omegasubseteqmathbb{R}^n$ is open and bounded. The integrand $FcolonOmegaimesmathbb{R}^{N}imesmathbb{R}^{Nimesn}omathbbR$ is assumed to satisfy the classical assumptions of a power $p$-growth and the corresponding strong quasiconvexity. In addition, $F$ is H"older continuous with exponent $$ in its first two variables uniformly with respect to the third variable, and bounded below by a quasiconvex function depending only on $zinmathbb{R}^{Nimesn}$. We establish that strong local minimizers of $mathcalF$ are of class $$ in an open subset $Omeg{a}_{0}subseteqOmega$ with $mathcal{L}^n(OmegasetminusOmeg{a}_0)=0$. This partial regularity also holds for a certain class of weak local minimizers at which the second variation is strongly positive and satisfying a $mathrmBMO$-smallness condition. This extends the partial regularity result for local minimizers by Kristensen and Taheri (2003) to the case where the integrand depends also on $u$. Furthermore, we provide a direct strategy for this result, in contrast to the blow-up argument used for the case of homogeneous integrands.
