Let Ω be a bounded Lipschitz domain in R2, let H be a 2 × 2 diagonal matrix with det(H) = 1. Let ε > 0 and consider the functional over AF ∩ W2,1(Ω), where AF is the class of functions from Ω satisfying affine boundary condition F. It can be shown by convex integration that there exists F ∉ SO(2) ∪ SO(2)H and u ∈ AF with I0(u) = 0. Let 0 0 there exists u ∈ BF ∩ W2,1 with then, for h = ε(1+6399ω)/3201, the interpolant satisfies I0(ũ) ≤ h1−cω. Note that it is trivial that , so we reduce the problem of non-trivial (scaling) lower bounds on mε/ε to the problem of non-trivial lower bounds on .
