AbstractWe 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 .
