English abstract:
We consider energy minimization problems for which the Lavrentiev
gap phenomenon occurs. In this case, usual conforming finite element
schemes cannot converge to the "correct" limit. The purpose of this
work is to show that, by contrast, the non-conforming Crouzeix-Raviart
finite element method can be employed for a successful discretization.
Furthermore, we introduce an adaptive CR-FEM which allows the
numerical verification of Lavrentiev gaps.
