Sufficiency theorems for local minimizers of the multiple integrals of the calculus of variations

A Taheri


Abstract

We establish sufficient conditions on a given Sobolev function $u_0$ to be an $L^r$ local minimizer ($1 \le r \le \infty$) of an integral functional of the type $$ I(u)= \int_{\Omega} f(x,u,Du) \, dx. $$
