Quasiconvexity conjecture for the Korn variational integrand
Quasiconvexity conjecture for the Korn variational integrand
Let be the dimension, let and be the orthogonal projections onto the skew-symmetric and symmetric matrices, and let be the function introduced in the paper. For , consider
Quasiconvexity conjecture. The displayed function is quasiconvex at some matrix . By homogeneity, quasiconvexity at implies quasiconvexity at . This proposed strengthening concerns the variational structure behind the sharp Korn constant and links the analytic inequality to quasiconvexity; the supplied excerpt does not state whether it has been resolved.
