Abstract
This work introduces liftings and their associated Young measures as new tools to study the asymptotic behaviour of sequences of pairs (uj, Duj)j for (uj)j⊂BV(Ω;Rm) under weak* convergence. These tools are then used to prove an integral representation theorem for the relaxation of the functional
F:u↦∫Ωf(x,u(x),∇u(x))dx,u∈W1,1(Ω;Rm),Ω⊂Rd open,
to the space BV(Ω;Rm) . Lower semicontinuity results of this type were first obtained by Fonseca and Müller (Arch Ration Mech Anal 123:1–49, 1993) and later improved by a number of authors, but our theorem is valid under more natural, essentially optimal, hypotheses than those currently present in the literature, requiring principally that f be Carathéodory and quasiconvex in the final variable. The key idea is that liftings provide the right way of localising F in the x and u variables simultaneously under weak* convergence. As a consequence, we are able to implement an optimal measure-theoretic blow-up procedure.
