Abstract
We consider the functional \int_\Omega \left[h(\gamma_K(\nabla u(x)))+u(x)\right]dx \qquad u(x)\in W_0^{1,1}(\Omega) where $\gamma_K$ is the gauge function of a convex set $K$ and $h : [0,\infty[ \rightarrow [0,\infty]$ is a possibly non convex function. In the case $K\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ is a closed polytope and $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ is a bounded convex set we provide a sufficient condition for the existence of the minimum. Besides, as a corollary, we give conditions on $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ and $f:\mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow [0,\infty]$ that are sufficient to the existence of a minimizer of \int_\Omega \left[f(\nabla u(x))+u(x)\right]dx \qquad u(x)\in W_0^{1,1}(\Omega).
