Linearisation at infinity and Lipschitz estimates for certain problems in the calculus of variations

Abstract
Synopsis: We demonstrate local Lipschitz regularity for minimisers of certain functionals which are appropriately convex and quadratic near infinity. The proof employs a blow-up argument entailing a linearisation of the Euler—Lagrange equations “at infinity”. As a application, we prove that minimisers for the relaxed optimal design problem derived by Kohn and Strang [3] are locally Lipschitz.
