Higher Order Variational Problems and Phase transitions in Nonlinear Elasticity Irene Fonseca Giovanni Leoni Abstract. Higher order variational problems ask for new techniques which do not reduce to mere generalizations of their counterparts for first order problems. These challenges will be illustrated within the context of phase transitions for nonlinear elastic materials, and of higher order lower semicontinuity results recently obtained.
