Lipschitz regularity for solutions of a general class of elliptic equations

Abstract: We prove local Lipschitz regularity for local minimiser of [ W^{1,1}(Omega) i vmapsto int_Omega F(Dv), dx ] where

O m e g a s u b s e t e q {m a t h b b R}^{N}

,

N g e 2

and

F : {m a t h b b R}^{N} o m a t h b b R

is a quasiuniformly convex integrand in the sense of Kovalev and Maldonado, i.e. a convex

C^{1}

-function such that the ratio between the maximum and minimum eigenvalues of

D^{2} F

is essentially bounded. This class of integrands inculdes the standard singular/degenerate functions

F (z) = | z |^{p}

for any

p > 1

and arises naturally as the closure, with respect to a natural convergence, of the strongly elliptic integrands of the Calculus of Variations.
