Let Ω 𝐑 N be an open bounded set with a Lipschitz boundary and let g : Ω × 𝐑 𝐑 be a Carathéodory function satisfying usual growth assumptions. Then the functional Φ ( u ) = Ω g ( x , u ( x ) ) 𝑑 x is lower semicontinuous with respect to the weak topology on W 1 , p ( Ω ) , 1 p , if and only if g is convex in the second variable for almost every x Ω .
