Abstract


 The aim of the paper is to show that the solutions to variational problems with non-standard growth conditions satisfy a corresponding variational inequality expressed in terms of a duality formula between the constrained minimizers and the corresponding dual maximizers, without any smallness assumptions on the gap between growth and coercitivity exponents. Our results rely on techniques based on Convex Analysis that consist in establishing pointwise relations that are preserved passing to the limit. We point out that we are able to deal with very general obstacle quasi-continuous up to a subset of zero capacity.
