Abstract

We discuss variational integrals which are defined on differential forms associated with a given first order elliptic complex. This general framework provides us with better understanding of the concepts of convexity, even in the classical setting D′(ℝn,ℝ){∇over→}D′(ℝn,ℝn){{curl}over{→}}D′(ℝn,ℝn×n)
