Abstract

The problem of potential wells can be described as follows. Consider the minimization problem
$$ (P)inf\left\{ {\int_\Omega {f(Du(x))dx:u \in \varphi + W_0^{1,p}(\Omega ;{\mathbb{R}^n})} } \right\}, $$
, Where \( \Omega \subset {\mathbb{R}^n} \) is a bounded open set \( \varphi \in {W^{1,p}}\left( {\Omega ;{\mathbb{R}^n}} \right) \) is a given map, and \( f:{\mathbb{R}^{n \times n}} \to {\mathbb{R}_ + } \) is such that
$$ f\left( \xi \right) = 0 \Leftrightarrow \xi \in E = \mathop {{\text{ }}U}\limits_{i = 1}^N SO\left( n \right){A_i}. $$
