Radial representation of lower semicontinuous envelope
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give an extension to a nonconvex setting of the classical radial representation result for lower semicontinuous envelope of a convex function on the boundary of its effective domain. We introduce the concept of radial uniform upper semicontinuity which plays the role of convexity, and allows to prove a radial representation result for nonconvex functions. An application to the relaxation of multiple integrals with constraints on the gradient is given.

On the Lower Semicontinuous Envelope of Functionals Defined on Polyhedral Chains
In this note we prove an explicit formula for the lower semicontinuous envelope of some functionals defined on real polyhedral chains. More precisely, denoting by H : R → [0,∞) an even, subadditive, and lower semicontinuous function with H(0) = 0, and by ΦH the functional induced by H on polyhedral m-chains, namely
متن کاملSemicontinuity and supremal representation in the Calculus of Variations
We study the weak* lower semicontinuity properties of functionals of the form F (u) = ess sup x∈Ω f(x,Du(x)) where Ω is a bounded open set of R and u ∈ W 1,∞(Ω). Without a continuity assumption on f(·, ξ) we show that the supremal functional F is weakly* lower semicontinuous if and only if it is a level convex functional (i.e. it has convex sub levels). In particular if F is weakly* lower semic...
متن کاملCharacterization and representation of the lower semicontinuous envelope of the elastica functional Caractérisation et représentation de l’enveloppe semi-continue inférieure de la fonctionnelle de l’elastica
We characterize the lower semicontinuous envelope F of the functional F(E) := ∫∂E [1 + |κ∂E |p]dH1, defined on boundaries of sets E ⊂ R2, where κ∂E denotes the curvature of ∂E and p > 1. Through a desingularization procedure, we find the domain of F and its expression, by means of different representation formulas. 2004 Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.

متن کاملVariational Approximation of Functionals withCurvatures and Related
We consider the problem of approximating via ?-convergence a class of functionals depending on curvatures of smooth compact boundaries. We investigate the connections between the approximation problem and the lower semicontinuous envelope of the original functional. We provide some examples of lower semicontinuous functionals and their variational approximation.
متن کاملRelaxation of Free-discontinuity Energies with Obstacles
Given a Borel function ψ defined on a bounded open set Ω with Lipschitz boundary and φ ∈ L1(∂Ω,Hn−1), we prove an explicit representation formula for the L lower semicontinuous envelope of Mumford-Shah type functionals with the obstacle constraint u ≥ ψ Hn−1 a.e. on Ω and the Dirichlet boundary condition u = φ on ∂Ω.
