The author considers the problem \[ \text{Minimize} \quad J(u)=\int_\Omega L(D(u(x)) dx \text{ with }u|_{\partial \Omega}=f \text{ and }f(\cdot) = \langle F, \cdot \rangle. \] In the case when \(L\) obeys a superlinear growth condition, the author establishes a necessary and sufficient condition so that all problems of the above form admit a solution. The condition is: either \(\partial L(F) \not= \emptyset\), or there exist \(v_1,\ldots,v_q\in R^n\) such that \(\bigcap _{i=1}^q \partial L(v_i)\not = \emptyset\) and \(F\in \text{int co }{v_1,\ldots,v_q}\). This result is an extension of results due to \textit{A. Cellina} [Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl. 20, No. 4, 337-341 (1993; Zbl 0784.49021); ibid., 343-347 (1993; Zbl 0784.49022)] and \textit{G. Friesecke} [Proc. R. Soc. Edinb., Sect. A 124, No. 3, 437-471 (1994; Zbl 0809.49017)]. Other results of the same kind are also established.
