Characterization of generalized Young measures generated by \({\mathcal{A}} \)-free measures (Q2049594)

In this large expository paper the energy functionals on open bounded sets in \(R^n\) of functions \(f(x,u)\) with \(L^1\) growth is considered combined with \(A\)-framework referred as the potential or \(B\)-gradient framework. Two characterizations are given, first for the class of generalized Young measures generated by \(A\)-free measures and second for the class generated by \(B\)-gradient measures. The \(L^1\) growth of \(f\) requires a careful study of oscillations and concentrations occurring along weak-star convergent sequences of measures which satisfy \(A\)- and \(B\)-frameworks. The main result is Theorem 1.1 which gives a necessary and sufficient condition for a generalized Young measure with zero boundary-values to be generated by a sequence of \(A\)-free measures. Then other five theorems are formulated and proved.
