Loss of double-integral character during relaxation

Abstract: We provide explicit examples to show that the relaxation of functionals L^p(Omega;mathbb{R}^m) i umapsto int_Omegaint_Omega W(u(x), u(y)), dx, dy, where OmegasubsetmathbbRn is an open and bounded set, 1<p<infty and W:mathbbRmimesmathbbRmomathbbR a suitable integrand, is in general not of double-integral form. This proves an up to now open statement in [Pedregal, Rev. Mat. Complut. 29 (2016)] and [Bellido & Mora-Corral, SIAM J. Math. Anal. 50 (2018)]. The arguments are inspired by recent results regarding the structure of (approximate) nonlocal inclusions, in particular, their invariance under diagonalization of the constraining set. For a complementary viewpoint, we also discuss a class of double-integral functionals for which relaxation is in fact structure preserving and the relaxed integrands arise from separate convexification.
