AbstractLet Ω ⊂ ℝn be a bounded Lipschitz domain and consider the energy functionalover the space of W1,2(Ω, ℝm) where the integrand is a smooth uniformly convex function with bounded second derivatives. In this paper we address the question of regularity for solutions of the corresponding system of Euler–Lagrange equations. In particular, we introduce a class of singularmaps referred to as traceless and examine themas a new counterexample to the regularity of minimizers of the energy functional ℱ[ ·, Ω] using a method based on null Lagrangians.

AbstractAmongst the more exciting phenomena in the field of nonlinear partial differential equations is the Lavrentiev phenomenon which occurs in the calculus of variations. We prove that a conforming finite element method fails if and only if the Lavrentiev phenomenon is present. Consequently, nonstandard finite element methods have to be designed for the detection of the Lavrentiev phenomenon in the computational calculus of variations. We formulate and analyze a general strategy for solving variational problems in the presence of the Lavrentiev phenomenon based on a splitting and penalization strategy. We establish convergence results under mild conditions on the stored energy function. Moreover, we present practical strategies for the solution of the discretized problems and for the choice of the penalty parameter.

A convergence theory is established for a truncation method in solving polyconvex elasticity problems involving the Lavrentiev phenomenon. Numerical results on a recent example by Foss et al., which has a polyconvex integrand and admits continuous singular minimizers, not only verify our convergence theorems but also provide a sharper estimate on the upper bound of a perturbation parameter for the existence of the Lavrentiev phenomenon in the example.

A numerical method using the truncation technique on the integrand is developed for computing singular minimizers or singular minimizing sequences in variational problems involving the Lavrentiev phenomenon. It is proved that the method can detect absolute minimizers with various singularities whether the Lavrentiev phenomenon is involved or not. It is also proved that, when the absolute infimum is not attainable, the method can produce minimizing sequences. Numerical results on Manià's example and a two-dimensional problem involving the Lavrentiev phenomenon with continuous Sobolev exponent dependence, are given to show the efficiency of the method.

A numerical method called element removal method is applied to calculate singular minimizers in problems of hyperelasticity. The method overcomes the difficulty in finite element approximations caused by restrictions, such as det (I+∇u)>0, on admissible functions and can avoid Lavrentiev phenomenon if it does occur in the problem. The convergence of the method is proved.

A numerical method called element removal method is designed to calculate singular minimizers which cannot be approximated by simple applications of standard numerical methods because of the so-called Lavrentiev phenomenon. The convergence of the method is proved. The results of numerical experiments show that the method is effective.
