Synopsis

Let Cf, Pf, Qf and Rf be respectively the convex, polyconvex, quasi-convex and rank-one-convex envelopes of a given function f. If fp: RNxM→R and fq(ξ) behaves as |ξ|q at infinity q ∈ (1, ∞), we show that . This is the case for (Pfp)p provided that q ≠1,…, min (N, M), otherwise . In the last part of this work, we show that f(ξ) = g(|ξ|) does not imply in general Pf = Qf.
