Higher Order Quasiconvexity Reduces to Quasiconvexity
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper it is shown that higher order quasiconvex functions suitable in the variational treatment of problems involving second derivatives may be extended to the space of all matrices as classical quasiconvex functions. Precisely, it is proved that a smooth strictly 2-quasiconvex function with p-growth at infinity, p > 1, is the restriction to symmetric matrices of a 1-quasiconvex function with the same growth. As a consequence, lower semicontinuity results for second-order variational problems are deduced as corollaries of well-known first order theorems.

K-quasiconvexity Reduces to Quasiconvexity
The relation between quasiconvexity and k-quasiconvexity, k ≥ 2, is investigated. It is shown that every smooth strictly k-quasiconvex integrand with p-growth at infinity, p > 1, is the restriction to k-th order symmetric tensors of a quasiconvex function with the same growth. When the smoothness condition is dropped, it is possible to prove an approximation result. As a consequence, lower semi...
متن کاملA Note on Quasiconvexity and Relative Hyperbolic Structures
Let G be a group which is hyperbolic relative to a collection of subgroups H1, and it is also hyperbolic relative to a collection of subgroups H2. Suppose that H2 ⊂ H1. We characterize, for subgroups of G, when quasiconvexity relative to H1 implies quasiconvexity relative to H2. We also show that quasiconvexity relative toH2 implies quasiconvexity relative toH1. As an application, we give some ...
متن کاملRank-.n 1/ convexity and quasiconvexity for divergence free fields
We prove that rank-.n 1/ convexity does not imply quasiconvexity with respect to divergence free fields (so-called S-quasiconvexity) in M n for m > n, by adapting the well-known Šverák’s counterexample to the solenoidal setting. On the other hand, we also remark that rank-.n 1/ convexity and S-quasiconvexity turn out to be equivalent in the space of n n diagonal matrices.
متن کاملThe universal relatively hyperbolic structure on a group and relative quasiconvexity for subgroups
We discuss the notion of the universal relatively hyperbolic structure on a group which is used in order to characterize relatively hyperbolic structures on the group. We also study relations between relatively hyperbolic structures on a group and relative quasiconvexity for subgroups of the group.
متن کاملQuasiconvexity versus Group Invariance
The lower invariance under a given arbitrary group of diffeomorphisms extends the notion of quasiconvexity. The non-commutativity of the group operation (the function composition) modifies the classical equivalence between lower semicontinuity and quasiconvexity. In this context null lagrangians are particular cases of integral invariants of the group.
