We provide the integral representation formula for the relaxation in $BV(o; R^M)$ with respect to strong convergence in $L^1(o; R^M)$ of a functional with a boundary contact energy term. This characterization is valid for a large class of surface energy densities, and for domains satisfying mild regularity assumptions. Motivated by some classical examples where lower semicontinuity fails, we analyze the extent to which the geometry of the set enters the relaxation procedure.

The parabolic-elliptic cross-diffusion system [ left{ begin{array}{l} u_t = Delta u - nabla cdot Big(uf(|nabla v|^2) nabla v Big), [1mm] 0 = Delta v - mu + u, qquad int_Omega v=0, qquad mu:=frac{1}{|Omega|} int_Omega u dx, end{array} right. ] is considered along with homogeneous Neumann-type boundary conditions in a smoothly bounded domain $Omegasubset R^n$, $nge 1$, where $f$ generalizes the prototype given by [ f(xi) = (1+xi)^{-alpha}, qquad xige 0, qquad mbox{for all } xige 0, ] with $alphain R$. In this framework, the main results assert that if $nge 2$, $Omega$ is a ball and [ alpha
