Gradient higher integrability for double phase problems on metric measure spaces

Abstract

We study local and global higher integrability properties for quasiminimizers of a class of double phase integrals characterized by nonstandard growth conditions. We work purely on a variational level in the setting of a metric measure space with a doubling measure and a Poincaré inequality. The main novelty is an intrinsic approach to double phase Sobolev-Poincaré inequalities.
