Regularity under sharp anisotropic general growth conditions
We prove boundedness of minimizers of energy-functionals, for
instance of the anisotropic type (1) below, under
sharp assumptions on
the exponents $p_{i}$ in terms of $\overline{p}*$: the
Sobolev conjugate exponent of $\overline{p}$; i.e.,
$\overline{p}*$ =
{n\overline{p}}/{n-\overline{p}}, $
$
1 / \overline{p}$= $\frac{1}{n}
\sum_{i=1}^{n}\frac{1}{p_{i}}$.
As a consequence, by mean of
regularity results due to Lieberman [21], we obtain the
local Lipschitz-continuity of minimizers under sharp assumptions
on the exponents of anisotropic growth.
