Abstract

We prove regularity results for minimizers of integral functionals of the type

where satisfies a nonstandard growth condition and stands for the horizontal gradient of . More precisely, we obtain regularity in the scale of Campanato spaces without assuming any restriction on the growth exponents and, under a suitable assumption on them, we get the local boundedness as well as an higher integrability result for the gradient.
