Résumé

Nous prouvons le fort principe du minimum pour des quasisuperminimizeurs non-négatifs de problème de Dirichlet de lʼexposant variable en supposant que lʼexposant a le module de continuité un peu plus général que Lipschitz. La démonstration est fondée sur une nouvelle version de la faible inégalité de Harnack.

Abstract

We prove the strong minimum principle for non-negative quasisuperminimizers of the variable exponent Dirichlet energy integral under the assumption that the exponent has modulus of continuity slightly more general than Lipschitz. The proof is based on a new version of the weak Harnack estimate.
