Abstract.
We study variational problems with convex integrands of very general structure by introducing certain regularizations leading to particular minimizers. In a second part we apply the method to stationary generalized Newtonian fluids which gives the existence of solutions under weak hypotheses on the dissipative potential. In particular the potential is not required to be a strictly convex function.
