AbstractWe provide a general approach to Lipschitz regularity of solutions for a large class of vector-valued, nonautonomous variational problems exhibiting nonuniform ellipticity. The functionals considered here range from those with unbalanced polynomial growth conditions to those with fast, exponential type growth. The results obtained are sharp with respect to all the data considered and also yield new, optimal regularity criteria in the classical uniformly elliptic case. We give a classification of different types of nonuniform ellipticity, accordingly identifying suitable conditions to get regularity theorems.

AbstractWe study the regularity of solutions of one-dimensional variational obstacle problems in {W^{1,1}} when the Lagrangian is locally Hölder continuous and globally elliptic. In the spirit of the work of Sychev [5, 6, 7], a direct method is presented for investigating such regularity problems with obstacles. This consists of introducing a general subclass {\mathcal{L}} of {W^{1,1}}, related in a certain way to one-dimensional variational obstacle problems, such that every function of {\mathcal{L}} has Tonelli’s partial regularity, and then to prove that, depending on the regularity of the obstacles, solutions of corresponding variational problems belong to {\mathcal{L}}. As an application of this direct method, we prove that if the obstacles are {C^{1,\sigma}}, then every Sobolev solution has Tonelli’s partial regularity.
