A simple partial regularity proof for minimizers of variational integrals

چکیده

We consider multi-dimensional variational integrals F [u] := Ω f (·, u, Du) dx where the integrand f is a strictly convex function of its last argument. We give an elementary proof for the partial C 1,α-regularity of minimizers of F. Our approach is based on the method of A-harmonic approximation, avoids the use of Gehring's lemma, and establishes partial regularity with the optimal Hölder exponent α in a single step.

Partial Regularity for Degenerate Variational Problems and Image Restoration Models in Bv

We establish partial and local C1,α-regularity results for vectorial almost-minimizers of convex variational integrals in BV. In particular, we investigate cases with a degenerate or singular behavior of p-Laplace type, and we cover (local) minimizers of the exemplary integrals ∫

Partial Regularity for Almost Minimizers of Quasi-Convex Integrals

We consider almost minimizers of variational integrals whose integrands are quasiconvex. Under suitable growth conditions on the integrand and on the function determining the almost minimality, we establish almost everywhere regularity for almost minimizers and obtain results on the regularity of the gradient away from the singular set. We give examples of problems from the calculus of variatio...

Partial Regularity For Anisotropic Functionals of Higher Order

Higher order variational functionals, emerging in the study of problems from materials science and engineering, have attracted a great deal of attention in last few years (e.g. [4], see [5]). In particular, the regularity of minimizers of such functionals has been studied very recently. In [15] and [16] the partial Ck,α regularity has been established for quasiconvex integrals with a p-power gr...

Optimal interior and boundary regularity for almost minimizers to elliptic variational integrals

We give a new proof of the small excess regularity theorems for integer multiplicity recti able currents of arbitrary dimension and codimension minimizing an elliptic parametric variational integral. This proof does not use indirect blow-up arguments, it covers interior and boundary regularity, it applies to almost minimizing currents, and it gives an explicit and often optimal modulus of conti...
