Gradient estimates for the pðxÞ-Laplacean system
By Emilio Acerbi and Giuseppe Mingione at Parma
Abstract. We prove Caldero´n and Zygmund type estimates for a class of elliptic
problems whose model is the non-homogeneous pðxÞ-Laplacean system
ÀdivðjDujpðxÞÀ2
DuÞ ¼ ÀdivðjFjpðxÞÀ2
FÞ:
Under optimal continuity assumptions on the function pðxÞ > 1 we prove that

Our estimates are motivated by recent developments in non-Newtonian fluidmechanics and
elliptic problems with non-standard growth conditions, and are the natural, ``non-linear''
counterpart of those obtained by Diening and Ru°zicka [12] in the linear case.
