Mission $p<n-1$: Possible -- Nonlinear Elasticity Beyond Conventional Limits

Daniel Campbell, Anna Doležalová, Stanislav Hencl

In this paper we prove the lower semicontinuity of a Neohookean-type energy for a model of Nonlinear Elasticity that allows, for the first time, for $p<n-1$. Our class of admissibl…
