Local boundedness for $p$-Laplacian with degenerate coefficients

We study local boundedness for subsolutions of nonlinear nonuniformly elliptic equations whose prototype is given by $\nabla \cdot (λ|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u)=0$, where the variable coefficient $0\leqλ$ and its inverse $λ^{-1}$ are allowed to be unbounded. Assuming certain integrability conditions on $λ$ and $λ^{-1}$ depending on $p$ and the dimension, we show local boundedness. Moreover, we provide counterexamples to regularity showing that the integrability conditions are optimal for every $p>1$.
