A new proof of semicontinuity by Young measures and an approximation theorem in Orlicz-Sobolev spaces

We give a new approach to study the lower semicontinuity properties of nonautonomous variational integrals whose energy densities satisfy general growth conditions. We apply the theory of Young measures and properties of Orlicz-Sobolev spaces to prove semicontinuity result.
