Abstract:

Lower semicontinuity results for polyconvex functionals of the Calculus of Variations along sequences of maps $u:{\mathbb{R}}^n\to{\mathbb{R}}^m$ in $W^{1,m}$, $2\leq m\leq n$, weakly converging in $W^{1,m-1}$ are established.

In addition, for $m = n + 1$, we also consider the autonomous case for weakly converging maps in $W^{1,n-1}$.
