[For the entire collection see Zbl 0705.00022.] These notes are a complete review on the variational problems related with integrals of the calculus of variation, whose integrand functions are non-convex. The author begins with the relation between the convexity of the integrand function and the lower semicontinuity of the functional. Then he considers the existence of minimizers for non-convex problems by presenting the principal methods and results giving many references on the subject. Moreover, he obtains some new results for a class of non- coercive and non-convex one-dimensional integrals. Finally, he considers non-convex functionals arising within non-linear elasticity, for which the existence of minimizers is still an open problem.
