Synopsis

Multiple integrals with polyconvex integrands are studied on the class of all sense-preserving diffeomorphisms from W1,p(Ω, Rn) where Ω is an open subset of Rn. They are proved to be sequentially weakly lower semicontinuous if 1 < p = n –1. An example is presented showing that a similar result is not valid if p <n –1.
