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.
