| contents | We address a degenerate elliptic variational problem arising in the application of the least action principle to averaged solutions of the inhomogeneous Euler equations in Boussinesq approximation emanating from the horizontally flat Rayleigh-Taylor configuration. We give a detailed derivation of the functional starting from the differential inclusion associated with the Euler equations, i.e. the notion of an averaged solution is the one of a subsolution in the context of convex integration, and illustrate how it is linked to the generalized least action principle introduced by Brenier in \cite{Brenier89,Brenier18}. Concerning the investigation of the functional itself, we use a regular approximation in order to show the existence of a minimzer enjoying partial regularity, as well as other properties important for the construction of actual Euler solutions induced by the minimizer. Furthermore, we discuss to what extent such an application of the least action principle to subsolutions can serve as a selection criterion. |
