We establish $$\textrm{C}^{\infty }$$ C ∞ -partial regularity results for relaxed minimizers of strongly quasiconvex functionals $$\begin{aligned} \mathscr {F}[u;\Omega ]:=\int _{\Omega }F(\nabla u)\textrm{d}x,\qquad u:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb {R}^{N}, \end{aligned}$$ F [ u ; Ω ] : = ∫ Ω F ( ∇ u ) d x , u : Ω → R N , subject to a q-growth condition $$|F(z)|\leqq c(1+|z|^{q})$$ | F ( z ) | ≦ c ( 1 + | z | q ) , $$z\in \mathbb {R}^{N\times n}$$ z ∈ R N × n , and natural p-mean coercivity conditions on $$F\in \textrm{C}^{\infty }(\mathbb {R}^{N\times n})$$ F ∈ C ∞ ( R N × n ) for the basically optimal exponent range $$1\leqq p\leqq q<\min \{\frac{np}{n-1},p+1\}$$ 1 ≦ p ≦ q < min { np n - 1 , p + 1 } . With the p-mean coercivity condition being stated in terms of a strong quasiconvexity condition on F, our results include pointwise (p, q)-growth conditions as special cases. Moreover, we directly allow for signed integrands which is natural in view of coercivity considerations and hence the direct method, but is novel in the study of relaxed problems. In the particular case of classical pointwise (p, q)-growth conditions, our results extend the previously known exponent range from Schmidt’s foundational work (Schmidt in Arch Ration Mech Anal 193:311–337, 2009) for non-negative integrands to the maximal range for which relaxations are meaningful, moreover allowing for $$p=1$$ p = 1 . We also emphasize that our results apply to the canonical class of signed integrands and do not rely in any way on measure representations à la Fonseca and Malý (Ann Inst Henri Poincaré Anal Non Linéaire 14:309–338, 1997).

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
