Application of Young measures to uniformly integrable sequences in a separable Banach space. (Application des mesures de Young aux suites uniformément integrables dans un Banach séparable.) (French) Zbl 0742.49010
The main results of the paper extend to a separable Banach space $$E$$ well-known theorems of functional analysis and the calculus of variations. More precisely, the author proves the weak-compactness of a sequence $$(u_ n)_ n$$ of uniformly integrable functions in $$L^ 1(\Omega,\mu;E)$$ and a lower semicontinuity result for integral functionals of the type $I[u,v]=\int_ \Omega \psi(\omega,u(\omega),v(\omega))d\mu$ with respect to the convergence in measure of a sequence $$(u_ n)_ n$$ of measurable functions and the weak convergence of a sequence $$(v_ n)_ n$$ in $$L^ 1(\Omega,\mu;E)$$. The technique used makes use of the theory of Young measures [see also the author in: “Methods of nonconvex analysis”, Lect. Notes Math. 1446, 152-188 (1990; Zbl 0738.28004)].
