Abstract

Lower semicontinuity and relaxation results in BV are obtained for multiple integrals where the energy density f satisfies lower semicontinuity conditions with respect to (x, u) and is not subjected to coercivity hypotheses. These results call for methods recently developed in the calculus of variations.
