Abstract: Given any strictly convex norm $|cdot|$ on $mathbb{R}^2$ that is $C^1$ in $mathbb{R}^{2}setminus0$, we study the generalized Aviles-Giga functional [I_{epsilon}(m):=int_{Omega} left(epsilon left| abla m ight|^2 + frac{1}{epsilon}left(1-|m|^2 ight)^2 ight) , dx,] for $Omegasubsetmathbb{R}^2$ and $mcolonOmegaomathbb{R}^2$ satisfying $ablacdotm=0$. Using, as in the euclidean case $|cdot|=|cdot|$, the concept of entropies for the limit equation $|m|=1$, $ablacdotm=0$, we obtain the following. First, we prove compactness in $L^p$ of sequences of bounded energy. Second, we prove rigidity of zero-energy states (limits of sequences of vanishing energy), generalizing and simplifying a result by Bochard and Pegon. Third, we obtain optimal regularity estimates for limits of sequences of bounded energy, in terms of their entropy productions. Fourth, in the case of a limit map in $BV$, we show that lower bound provided by entropy productions and upper bound provided by one-dimensional transition profiles are of the same order. The first two points are analogous to what is known in the euclidean case $|cdot|=|cdot|$, and the last two points are sensitive to the anisotropy of the norm $|cdot|$.
