New convexity conditions in the calculus of variations and compensated compactness theory
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 12 (2006) no. 1, pp. 64-92.

We consider the lower semicontinuous functional of the form I f (u)= Ω f(u)dx where u satisfies a given conservation law defined by differential operator of degree one with constant coefficients. We show that under certain constraints the well known Murat and Tartar’s Λ-convexity condition for the integrand f extends to the new geometric conditions satisfied on four dimensional symplexes. Similar conditions on three dimensional symplexes were recently obtained by the second author. New conditions apply to quasiconvex functions.
