“…However, the faster the growth of a functional, the higher the regularity of its minima that we can expect. Indeed, in the case of N = R, Duc and Eells [2] showed that an E-minimizer u : (M, g) → R of the Dirichlet problem is smooth in the interior of M , where (M, g) is a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, and Lieberman [7] showed the global regularity T. OMORI for u : Ω → R, where Ω ⊆ R m is an open subset. Also, for n ≥ 2, Naito [8] showed that an E-minimizer u : Ω → R n , where Ω ⊆ R m is a bounded domain, is smooth in the interior of Ω.…”
