The energy integral of the calculus of variations, which we consider in this paper, has a limit behavior when the maximum exponent q, in the growth estimate of the integrand, reaches a threshold. In fact, if q is larger than this threshold, counterexamples to the local boundedness and regularity of minimizers are known. In this paper, we prove the local boundedness of minimizers (and also of quasi-minimizers) under this stated limit condition. Some other general and limit growth conditions are also considered.

Abstract

The energy integral of the calculus of variations, which we consider in this paper, has a limit behavior when the maximum exponent q, in the growth estimate of the integrand, reaches a threshold. In fact, if q is larger than this threshold, counterexamples to the local boundedness and regularity of minimizers are known. In this paper, we prove the local boundedness of minimizers (and also of quasi-minimizers) under this stated limit condition. Some other general and limit growth conditions are also considered.
