On the Lower Semicontinuity of Quasiconvex Integrals
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, dedicated to Neil Trudinger in the occasion of his 70 birthday, we propose a relatively elementary proof of the weak lower semicontinuity in W 1,p of a general integral of the Calculus of Variations of the type (1.1) below with a quasiconvex density function satisfying p-growth conditions. Several comments and references on the related literature, and a subsection devoted to some properties of the maximal function operator, are also included.

متن کاملApproximation of Quasiconvex Functions, and Lower Semicontinuity of Multiple Integrals
We study semicontinuity of multiple integrals ~ f~,u,Du)dx~ where the vector-valued function u is defined for xE ~C N with values in ~ . The function f(x,s,~) is assumed to be Carath@odory and quasiconvex in Morrey's sense. We give conditions on the growth of f that guarantee the sequential lower semicontinuity of the given integral in the weak topology 1 N of the Sobolev space H 'P(~;~ ). The ...
متن کاملA Note on Meyers’ Theorem in W
Lower semicontinuity properties of multiple integrals u ∈W (Ω;R) 7→ ∫ Ω f(x, u(x), · · · ,∇u(x)) dx are studied when f may grow linearly with respect to the highest-order derivative, ∇ku, and admissible W k,1(Ω;Rd) sequences converge strongly in W k−1,1(Ω;Rd). It is shown that under certain continuity assumptions on f, convexity, 1-quasiconvexity or k-polyconvexity of ξ 7→ f(x0, u(x0), · · · ,∇...

متن کاملOn a Restricted Weak Lower Semicontinuity for Smooth Functional on Sobolev Spaces
We study a restricted weak lower semicontinuity property, which we call the (PS)-weak lower semicontinuity, for a smooth integral functional on the Sobolev space along all weakly convergent Palais-Smale sequences of the functional. By the Ekeland variational principle, the (PS)-weak lower semicontinuity is sufficient for the existence of minimizers under the usual coercivity assumption. In gene...
