Graphs of finite mass which cannot be approximated in area by smooth graphs (Q1313526): Difference between revisions

The authors show that there is an obstruction of homotopic nature besides the homological one to the approximation in area of maps \(u:B_ 1 \to R^ 2\). More precisely, it is constructed a class of Cartesian currents that cannot be approximated weakly and in area by smooth graphs.
