Abstract

In this note we give an example of a functional which is defined and coercive on H01(Ω)H^1_0(\Omega), which is sequentially weakly lower semicontinuous on W01,p(Ω)W^{1,p}_0(\Omega) for every p>2p>2, but which is not sequentially lower semicontinuous on H01(Ω)H^{1}_0(\Omega). This functional is non local.
