• The values pj(x) and sj(x) determine the oscillatory behavior of the minimizing sequences and the existence of minimizers of the original non-convex formulation. • Given an arbitrary minimizing sequence un of the original problem, its derivative is forced to follow one of the values sj(x) according to their proportions pj(x).• As , no parametrized measure can be supported on the negative semi-axis. Thus, we can reformulate the generalized problem by imposing this restriction on the support of the parametrized measures.

• The polynomial form of the internal energy potential, allows us to transform the generalized problem in Young measures into a convex optimal control problem.• The new formulation is defined in vectorial control variables m, which form a convex control set whose elements are vectors composed by the algebraic moments of a probability measure supported on the positive semi-axis.• We can characterize this convex, control set by using the classical truncated Stieltjes Moment Problem. Thus, we must impose the positive semidefinite condition on the Hankel matrices formed with the entries of every parametrized vector m(x).
