Abstract

We consider vector functions minimizing variational integrals of the form with convex density whose growth properties are described in terms of an -function with limsup. We then prove - under certain technical assumptions on - full regularity of provided that , and partial -regularity in the case . The main feature of the paper is that we do not require any power growth of .
