The weak Harnack inequality for unbounded supersolutions of equations with generalized Orlicz growth

Abstract: We study unbounded weak supersolutions of elliptic partial differential equations with generalized Orlicz (Musielak--Orlicz) growth. We show that they satisfy the weak Harnack inequality with optimal exponent provided that they belong to a suitable Lebesgue or Sobolev space. Furthermore, we establish the sharpness of our central assumptions.
