This volume deals with the problem of characterizing the limit points of sequences of smooth maps from the unit ball of Rn with values into a smooth boundaryless Riemannian manifold and with equibounded “integral energies”. After surveying some known results about Cartesian currents and graphs with finite area and finite boundary area, we do characterize, as in the title, weak limits of sequences of smooth maps with equibounded W 1,2-, W 1/2-, or BV-energies.weiterlesen
