We consider multiple integrals of the Calculus of Variations of the form E(u) = ∫ W(x, u(x), Du(x)) dx where W is a Carathéodory function finite on matrices satisfying an orientation preserving or an incompressibility constraint of the type, det Du > 0 or det Du = 1, respectively. Under suitable growth and lower semicontinuity assumptions in the u variable we prove that the functional ∫ Wqc(x, u(x), Du(x)) dx is an upper bound for the relaxation of E and coincides with the relaxation if the quasiconvex envelope Wqc of W is polyconvex and satisfies p growth from below for p bigger then the ambient dimension. Our result generalises a previous one by Conti and Dolzmann [Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 217 (2015) 413–437] relative to the case where W depends only on the gradient variable.

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.

SynopsisMultiple 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.
