On some definitions and properties of generalized convex sets arising in the calculus of variations

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We deal with generalized notions of convexity for sets. Namely, thepolyconvexity, quasiconvexity, rank one convexity and separate convexity. The question has its origin in the calculus of variations. We try tosystematize the results concerning these generalized notions imitating asmuch as possible the classical approach of convex analysis. Throughoutthe article, we will discuss the relations between the different convexities,separation and Carath´eodory type theorems, the notion of hull of a setand extremal points.
