Singular Sets

We show that non-occurrence of the Lavrentiev phenomenon does not imply that the singular set is small. Precisely, given a compact Lebesgue null subsetE⊆ ℝ and an arbitrary superlinearity, there exists a smooth strictly convex Lagrangian with this superlinear growth such that all minimizers of the associated variational problem have singular set exactlyEbut still admit approximation in energy by smooth functions.

Abstract We consider the classical functional of the Calculus of Variations of the form $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle I(u)=\int\limits_{{\it\Omega}}F(x, u(x), \nabla u(x))\,dx, \end{array}$$ where Ω is a bounded open subset of ℝn and F : Ω × ℝ × ℝn → ℝ is a Carathéodory convex function; the admissible functions u coincide with a prescribed Lipschitz function ϕ on ∂Ω. We formulate some conditions under which a given function in ϕ + $\begin{array}{} \displaystyle W^{1,p}_0 \end{array}$(Ω) with I(u) < +∞ can be approximated in the W1,p norm and in energy by a sequence of smooth functions that coincide with ϕ on ∂Ω. As a particular case we obtain that the Lavrentiev phenomenon does not occur when F(x, u, ξ) = f(x, u) + h(x, ξ) is convex and x ↦ F(x, 0, 0) is sufficiently smooth.
