Abstract.
We prove a higher integrability result for the gradient of solutions to some degenerate elliptic PDEs, whose model arises in the study of mappings with finite distortion.
The nonnegative function \(\mathcal{K}(x)\) which measures the degree of degeneracy of ellipticity bounds lies in the exponential class, i.e. \(\exp (\lambda \mathcal{K}(x))\) is integrable for some λ > 0.
Our result states that if λ is sufficiently large, then the gradient of a “finite energy” solution actually belongs to the Zygmund space LplogαL,α ≥ 1.
