Abstract:

In this paper we consider two particular classes of supremal functionals defined on Radon measures and we find necessary and sufficient conditions for their lower semicontinuity with respect to the weak$^*$ convergence. Some applications to the minimization of functionals defined on $BV$ are presented.
