Review text

The author discusses the epi-convergence of a sequence of integral functionals of the type \[ I(f_n)=\int f_n(t,u(t)) d\mu,\qquad u\in L^p,\quad 1\leq p<+\infty, \] where \(f_n:T\times X\to R\), is a normal, proper, lower semicontinuous and convex integrand, \((T,\mathcal A, \mu)\) is a complete probability space and \(X \) is a non-reflexive Banach space with separable dual. Precisely, he proves that under the assumption that \(f_n\) converges to \(f\) in the sense of the slice-topology (s-converges), then the sequence of the integrals \(I(f_n)\) s-converges to the integral \(I(f)\) and also the sequence \(I(f^*_n)\) of the integrals associated to the conjugate integrands s-converges to \(I(f^*)\). This result represents a non trivial extension and a generalization of the analogous theorem proved by the reviewer [Atti Sem. Mat. Fis. Univ. Modena 33, No. 1, 137-154 (1984; MR 87k:46082)] for Mosco-convergence in the case of a reflexive Banach space \(X\) and therefore also of the former result given by \textit{J. L. Joly} and \textit{F. de Thelin} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 54, 230-244 (1976; Zbl 0338.47023)] for Kuratowski convergence in finite dimensional setting.
