Abstract

We show that, if f : M2×2 → R is rank-one convex on the hyperboloid H-D := {XS2×2 : det X = -D, X11 ≥ 0}, D ≥ 0, S2×2 is the set of 2×2 real symmetric matrices, then f can be approximated by quasi-convex functions on M2×2 uniformly on compact subsets of H-D. Equivalently, every gradient Young measure supported on a compact subset of H-D is a laminate.
