On the Lipschitz Regularity for Minima of Functionals Depending on $x$, $u$, and $\nabla{u}$ under the Bounded Slope Condition

On the Lipschitz Regularity for Minima of Functionals Depending on $x$, $u$, and $\nabla{u}$ under the Bounded Slope Condition

We prove the existence of a global Lipschitz minimizer of functionals of the form $\mathcal I(u)=\int_\Omega f(\nabla u(x))+g(x,u(x))\,dx$, $u\in\phi+W^{1,1}_0(\Omega)$, assuming that $\phi$ satisfies the bounded slope condition (BSC). Our assumptions on the Lagrangian allow the function $f$ to be strongly degenerate.
