| contents | We establish the global gradient bounds for weak solutions to the elliptic variational inequality with two-sided obstructions, associated with a $p(x)$-Laplacian type operator involving degenerate or singular matrix weights. Under the optimal regularity assumptions on the matrix-valued weight, suitable geometric flatness of the domain, and the prescribed data, we aim to investigate the effects of the problem structure on the level of integrability properties of solutions. To this end, we develop regularity in two regards: weighted Calderón-Zygmund-type and general weighted Orlicz-type estimates. A notable feature of our results is that, through a constructive level-set approach, the estimates can be derived with minimal dependence of the scaling parameter on the structural constants. The regularity results are then sharp in the sense that they enable the construction of a level-set estimate with nearly optimal scaling parameters, within admissible parameter sets. |
