Abstract: We prove an integral representation theorem for the $mathrm{L}^1(Omega;mathbb{R}^m)$-relaxation of the functional [ mathcal{F}colon umapstoint_Omega f(x,u(x), abla u(x));mathrm{dd } x,quad uinmathrm{W}^{1,1}(Omega;mathbb{R}^m),quadOmegasubsetmathbb{R}^d ext{ open,} ] to the space $mathrmBV(Omega;mathbb{R}^m)$ under very general assumptions, requiring principally that $f$ be Carath'eodory, partially coercive, and quasiconvex in the final variable. Our result is the first of its kind which applies to integrands which are unbounded in the $u$-variable and thus allows to treat many problems from applications. Such functionals are out of reach of the classical blow-up approach introduced by Fonseca & M"uller [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 123 (1993), 1--49]. Our proof relies on an intricate truncation construction (in the $x$ and $u$ arguments simultaneously) made possible by the theory of liftings as introduced in the companion paper arXiv:1708.04165, and features techniques which could be of use for other problems featuring $u$-dependent integrands.
