Abstract:
We consider the elliptic system , and an obstacle problem for a similar system of variational inequalities. The functions and satisfy certain ellipticity and boundedness conditions with a -admissible weight and exponent . The growth of in and is of order . We show that weak solutions of the above systems are locally bounded and differentiable almost everywhere in the classical sense.
