Abstract:

The aim of this paper consists in giving a first characterization of lower semicontinuity for surface integrals in the space of special functions of bounded hessian, showing at the same time some conditions necessarily verified by the integrands.

Keywords: Lower Semicontinuity, free discontinuity problems, special functions of bounded Hessian, SBH-ellipticity
