Abstract

We consider the basic problem of the Calculus of variations of minimizing an integral functional among the absolutely continuous functions that satisfy prescribed boundary conditions. We resume the state of the art and our recent contributions concerning the validity of the Du Bois-Reymond condition, and the Lipschitz regularity of the minimizers and of minimizing sequences (e.g., Lavrentiev phenomenon).
