Abstract

We consider the variational problem consisting of minimizing a polyconvex integrand for maps between manifolds. We offer a simple and direct proof of the existence of a minimizing map. The proof is based on Young measures.

Keywords: calculus of variations, polyconvexity, gradient measures
