Synopsis

In this article, we study the functional Where Ω ⊂ ĝn is a bounded open set and u: Ω ×(0, T)→ ĝm and when F: Rnm →R fails to be quasiconvex. We show that with respect to strong convergence of ∂u/∂t and weak convergence of ∇×u, the above functional behaves as where QF is the lower quasiconvex envelope of F.
