Abstract

We give some conditions that ensure the validity of a Comparison Principle for the Minimizers of integral functionals, without assuming the validity of the Euler-Lagrange equation. We deduce a weak Maximum Principle for (possibly) degenerate elliptic equations and, together with a generalization of the Bounded Slope Condition, a result on the Lipschitz continuity of Minimizers.
