## Minimizing a functional depending on $$\nabla u$$ and on $$u$$.(English)Zbl 0876.49001

The author proves existence of solutions for a class of minimum problems of the calculus of variations where the integrand depends both on $$\nabla u$$ and $$u$$ and no convexity assumption is made with respect to the variable $$\nabla u$$.
