An example of a C1,1 polyconvex function with no differentiable convex representative
[Un exemple de fonction C1,1 polyconvexe sans reprèsentant convexe differentiable]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 336 (2003) no. 1, pp. 11-14.

On construit une fonction C1,1 polyconvexe W tel qu'il existe une matrice 2×2 Y satisfaisant la propriété suivante : tous les representants convexes de W ont au moins deux sousgradients distincts (et ne sont donc pas differentiable) au point (Y,detY). Ceci montre, en particulier, qu'une fonction polyconvexe peut être plus differentiable que tous ses representants convex.

We construct a C1,1 polyconvex function W such that there exists a fixed 2×2 matrix Y with the property that all convex representatives of W have at least two distinct subgradients (and are hence not differentiable) at the point (Y,detY), showing in particular that a polyconvex function can be smoother than any of its convex representatives.
