5. Non-convex problems in calculus of variations
We will now discuss the case where the function f is not convex (in the scalar case n = 1) or not quasi-convex (in the vector case ). Non-convex problems are often encountered in questions related to phase transitions, and we'll give several examples motivated by applications to such problems. The rule, of course, is that :
