Abstract: In this paper we consider the problem of minimizing functionals of the form $E(u)=in{t}_{B}f(x,ablau),dx$ in a suitably prepared class of incompressible, planar maps $u:Bightarrowmathbb{R}^2$. Here, $B$ is the unit disk and $f(x,xi)$ is quadratic and convex in $xi$. It is shown that if $u$ is a stationary point of $E$ in a sense that is made clear in the paper, then $u$ is a unique global minimizer of $E(u)$ provided the gradient of the corresponding pressure satisfies a suitable smallness condition. We apply this result to construct a non-autonomous, uniformly convex functional $f(x,xi)$, depending smoothly on $xi$ but discontinuously on $x$, whose unique global minimizer is the so-called $N-$covering map, which is Lipschitz but not $C^1$.
