We consider the weak closure WZ of the set Z of all feasible pairs (solution, flow) of the family of potential elliptic systems div ∑ s = 1 s 0 σ s ( x ) F s ' ( ∇ u ( x ) + g ( x ) ) - f ( x ) = 0 in Ω , u = ( u 1 , ⋯ , u m ) ∈ H 0 1 ( Ω ; 𝐑 m ) , σ = ( σ 1 , ⋯ , σ s 0 ) ∈ S , where Ω ⊂ Rn is a bounded Lipschitz domain, Fs are strictly convex smooth functions with quadratic growth and S = { σ m e a s u r a b l e ∣ σ s ( x ) = 0 or 1 , s = 1 , ⋯ , s 0 , σ 1 ( x ) + ⋯ + σ s 0 ( x ) = 1 } . We show that WZ is the zero level set for an integral functional with the integrand Q ℱ being the A-quasiconvex envelope for a certain function ℱ and the operator A = (curl,div)m. If the functions Fs are isotropic, then on the characteristic cone Λ (defined by the operator A) Q ℱ coincides with the A-polyconvex envelope of ℱ and can be computed by means of rank-one laminates.
