Abstract

In this paper we study the lower semicontinuous envelope with respect tothe L 1-topology of a class of isotropic functionals with lineargrowth defined on mappings from the n-dimensional ball into  ${\mathbb R}^{N}$   that are constrained to take values into a smoothsubmanifold   ${\cal Y}$   of   ${\mathbb R}^{N}$ .
