We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server end of 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

On the stability of quasiconvex hulls
Kewei Zhang
Abstract
We study the stability problem of the quasiconvex hull $K \subset M^{N \otimes n}$ with respect to K by using Hausdorff metric over compact sets. We introduce various stability criteria and examine some examples including the quasiconvex hull for the two-well problem in modelling martensitic phase transformations.
