A regularity property of -harmonic functions.
In this paper we prove a regularity result for local minimizers of functionals of the Calculus of Variations of the typewhere Ω is a bounded open set in , u∈(Ω; ), p> 1, n≥ 2 and N≥ 1. We use the technique of difference quotient without the usual assumption on the growth of the second derivatives of the function f. We apply this result to give a bound on the Hausdorff dimension of the singular set of minimizers.
We examine the p-harmonic equation div |grad u|(p-2). grad u = mu, where mu is a bounded Radon measure. We determine a range of p's for which solutions to the equation verify an a priori estimate. For such p's we also prove a higher integrability result.
It is shown that the approximating equations whose existence is required in the author's previous work on partially regular weak solutions can be constructed without any additional assumption about the equation itself. This leads to a variation of a Galerkin method.
We prove higher integrability for the gradient of bounded minimizers of some variational integrals with anisotropic growth.
