Synopsis

Let Ω be an open subset of Rn. It is well known that, given a suitable real-valued function f on Ω × Rk and a Rk -valued Borel measure µ on Ω, then one can define a real-valued measurefµ on Ω. The object of this note is to define the Ψ-strict convergence of the Rk-valued Borel measures µj to the Rk-valued Borel measure µ, where Ψ: Ω × Rk → [0, + ∞] is a continuous function which is positively homogeneous and convex in the Rk-variable, and to investigate the lower semicontinuity and continuity of the map µ → fμ with respect to the Ψ-strict convergence; here f is positively homogeneous in the Rk-variable and satisfies one suitable convexity condition (related to Ψ).
