Lower Semicontinuous Functionals for Almgren’s Multiple Valued Functions
We consider general integral functionals on the Sobolev spaces of multiple valued functions, introduced by Almgren. We characterize the semicontinuous ones and recover earlier results of Mattila in [10] as a particular case. Moreover, we answer positively to one of the questions raised by Mattila in the same paper. 0. Introduction In his big regularity paper [1], Almgren developed a new theory ...
متن کاملLower Semicontinuous Regularization for Vector-Valued Mappings
The concept of the lower limit for vector-valued mappings is the main focus of this work. We first introduce a new definition of adequate lower and upper level sets for vector-valued mappings and establish some of their topological and geometrical properties. Characterization of semicontinuity for vector-valued mappings is thereafter presented. Then, we define the concept of vector lower limit,...
متن کاملLower Semicontinuous Functions
We define the notions of lower and upper semicontinuity for functions from a metric space to the extended real line. We prove that a function is both lower and upper semicontinuous if and only if it is continuous. We also give several equivalent characterizations of lower semicontinuity. In particular, we prove that a function is lower semicontinuous if and only if its epigraph is a closed set....
متن کاملConvex Representation for Lower Semicontinuous Envelopes of Functionals in L
G. Alberti, G. Bouchitté and G. Dal Maso recently found sufficient conditions for the minimizers of the (nonconvex) Mumford-Shah functional. Their method consists in an extension of the calibration method (that is used for the characterization of minimal surfaces), adapted to this functional. The existence of a calibration, given a minimizer of the functional, remains an open problem. We introd...
متن کاملUnbounded Critical Points for a Class of Lower Semicontinuous Functionals
In this paper we prove existence and multiplicity results of unbounded critical points for a general class of weakly lower semicontinuous functionals. We will apply a nonsmooth critical point theory developed in [10, 12, 13] and applied in [8, 9, 20] to treat the case of continuous functionals.
