We consider higher order functionals of the form $F\left[u\right]=\underset{\Omega }{\int }f\left(D^{m}u\right)\mathrm{d}x\text{for}u:{ℝ}^n\supset \Omega \to {ℝ}^N,$ where the integrand $f:{⨀}^m({ℝ}^n,{ℝ}^N)\to ℝ$, m ≥ 1 is strictly quasiconvex and satisfies a non-standard growth condition. More precisely we assume that f fulfills the (p, q)-growth condition $${\gamma \left|A\right|}^p\le f\left(A\right)\le {L(1+|A|}^q)\text{for}\text{all}A\in {⨀}^m({ℝ}^n,{ℝ}^N),$$ with

We consider a finite-dimensional control system $\left(\Sigma \right)\dot{x}\left(t\right)=f(x\left(t\right),u\left(t\right))$, such that there exists a feedback stabilizer that renders $\dot{x}=f(x,k\left(x\right))$ globally asymptotically stable. Moreover, for with an output map and $1\le p\le q\le \infty$, we assume that there exists a ${𝒦}_{\infty }$-function such that $\parallel H\left(x_u\right){\parallel }_q\le {\alpha (\parallel u\parallel }_p)$, where is the maximal solution of ${\left(\Sigma \right)}_k\dot{x}\left(t\right)=f(x\left(t\right),k\left(x\left(t\right)\right)+u\left(t\right))$, corresponding to and to the initial condition . Then, the gain function $G_{(H,p,q)}$ of given by 14.5cm $$G_{(H,p,q)}\left(X\right)\stackrel{\mathrm{def}}{=}\underset{{\parallel u\parallel }_p=X}{sup}{\parallel H\left(x_u\right)\parallel }_q,$$ is well-defined. We call profile of for any ${𝒦}_{\infty }$-function which is of the same order of magnitude...
