Abstract
We consider a multidimensional scalar problem of the calculus of variations with a nonnegative general Lagrangian depending on the space variable, on a Sobolev function and on its gradient. The main result of the paper is a sufficient condition discarding the Lavrentiev phenomenon between Sobolev and Lipschitz functions, with a prescribed boundary datum. The result unifies most of the known conditions in the literature and does not require that the Lagrangian obey a p-q growth condition or be an N-function.
期刊介绍:
This journal, the oldest scientific periodical in Italy, was originally edited by Barnaba Tortolini and Francesco Brioschi and has appeared since 1850. Nowadays it is managed by a nonprofit organization, the Fondazione Annali di Matematica Pura ed Applicata, c.o. Dipartimento di Matematica "U. Dini", viale Morgagni 67A, 50134 Firenze, Italy, e-mail annali@math.unifi.it).
A board of Italian university professors governs the Fondazione and appoints the editors of the journal, whose responsibility it is to supervise the refereeing process. The names of governors and editors appear on the front page of each issue. Their addresses appear in the title pages of each issue.
