Quantified Legendreness and the regularity of minima
Abstract
We introduce a new quantification of nonuniform ellipticity in variational problems via convex duality, and prove higher differentiability and 2d-smoothness results for vector valued minimizers of possibly degenerate functionals. Our framework covers convex, anisotropic polynomials as prototypical model examples - in particular, we improve in an essentially optimal fashion Marcellini's original results ma1.
