Abstract:

In this paper, dedicated to Neil Trudinger in the occasion of his 70th birthday, we propose a relatively elementary proof of the weak lower semicontinuity in W1; 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.

Keywords: Lower Semicontinuity, Quasiconvex integrals
