Symmetric-convex functionals of linear growth (Q1691830)

The paper investigates existence and regularity theorems for convex functionals of linear growth that depend on the symmetric rather than the full gradients. Due to the failure of Korn's inequality in the \(L^1\)-setup, the full weak gradients of minima do not need to exist, and the paper aims for presenting methods that help to overcome these issues as to partial regularity and higher integrability of minimizers.
