The Meyers Estimates for Domains Perforated along the Boundary

In this paper, we consider an elliptic problem in a domain perforated along the boundary. By setting a homogeneous Dirichlet condition on the boundary of the cavities and a homogeneous Neumann condition on the outer boundary of the domain, we prove higher integrability of the gradient of the solution to the problem.

Higher integrability and reverse Hölder inequalities in the limit cases

We study the higher integrability of weights satisfying a reverse Hölder inequality ( ⨏ I u β ) 1 β ≤ B ⁢ ( ⨏ I u α ) 1 α {\biggl{(}\fint_{I}u^{\beta}\biggr{)}^{\frac{1}{\beta}}}\leq B{\biggl{(}\fint_{I}u^{\alpha}\biggr{)}^{\frac{1}{\alpha}}} for some B > 1 B>1 and given α < β \alpha<\beta , in the limit cases when α ∈ { - ∞ , 0 } \alpha\in\{-\infty,0\} and/or β ∈ { 0 , + ∞ } \beta\in\{0,+\infty\} . The results apply to the Gehring and Muckenhoupt weights and their corresponding limit classes.

Noncoercive quasilinear elliptic operators with singular lower order terms

We consider a family of quasilinear second order elliptic differential operators which are not coercive and are defined by functions in Marcinkiewicz spaces. We prove the existence of a solution to the corresponding Dirichlet problem. The associated obstacle problem is also solved. Finally, we show higher integrability of a solution to the Dirichlet problem when the datum is more regular.

Global higher integrability for minimisers of convex functionals with (p,q)-growth

We prove global $$W^{1,q}({\varOmega },{\mathbb {R}}^m)$$ W 1 , q ( Ω , R m ) -regularity for minimisers of convex functionals of the form $${\mathscr {F}}(u)=\int _{\varOmega } F(x,Du)\,{\mathrm{d}}x$$ F ( u ) = ∫ Ω F ( x , D u ) d x .$$W^{1,q}({\varOmega },{\mathbb {R}}^m)$$ W 1 , q ( Ω , R m ) regularity is also proven for minimisers of the associated relaxed functional. Our main assumptions on F(x, z) are a uniform $$\alpha $$ α -Hölder continuity assumption in x and controlled (p, q)-growth conditions in z with $$q<\frac{(n+\alpha )p}{n}$$ q < ( n + α ) p n .

Higher integrability for variational integrals with non-standard growth

We consider autonomous integral functionals of the form $$\begin{aligned} {\mathcal {F}}[u]:=\int _\varOmega f(D u)\,dx \quad \text{ where } u:\varOmega \rightarrow {\mathbb {R}}^N, N\ge 1, \end{aligned}$$ F [ u ] : = ∫ Ω f ( D u ) d x where u : Ω → R N , N ≥ 1 , where the convex integrand f satisfies controlled (p, q)-growth conditions. We establish higher gradient integrability and partial regularity for minimizers of $${\mathcal {F}}$$ F assuming $$\frac{q}{p}<1+\frac{2}{n-1}$$ q p < 1 + 2 n - 1 , $$n\ge 3$$ n ≥ 3 . This improves earlier results valid under the more restrictive assumption $$\frac{q}{p}<1+\frac{2}{n}$$ q p < 1 + 2 n .

On regularity properties of a surface growth model

We show local higher integrability of derivative of a suitable weak solution to the surface growth model, provided a scale-invariant quantity is locally bounded. If additionally our scale-invariant quantity is small, we prove local smoothness of solutions.
