Starting from Giaquinta’s counterexample [12] we introduce the class of splitting functionals being of -growth with exponents and show for the scalar case that locally bounded local minimizers are of class . Note that to our knowledge the only -results without imposing a relation between and concern the case of two independent variables as it is outlined in Marcellini’s paper [15], Theorem A, and later on in the work of Fusco and Sbordone [10], Theorem 4.2.
