ABSTRACT: We present a convergence analysis of an algorithm for the numerical computation of the rank-one convex envelope of a function $f\ :\ M^{m \times n} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $. A rate of convergence for the scheme is established, and numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the analytical results and applications of the algorithm.
