contents We prove the absence of a Lavrentiev gap for vectorial integral functionals of the form $$ F: g+W_0^{1,1}(Ω)^m\to\mathbb{R}\cup\{+\infty\},\qquad F(u)=\int_ΩW(x,\mathrm{D} u)\,\mathrm{d}x, $$ where the boundary datum $g:Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^d\to\mathbb{R}^m$ is sufficiently regular, $ξ\mapsto W(x,ξ)$ is convex and lower semicontinuous, satisfies $p$-growth from below and suitable growth conditions from above. More precisely, if $p\leq d-1$, we assume $q$-growth from above with $q\leq \frac{(d-1)p}{d-1-p}$, while for $p>d-1$ we require essentially no growth conditions from above and allow for unbounded integrands. Concerning the $x$-dependence, we impose a well-known local stability estimate that is redundant in the autonomous setting, but in the general non-autonomous case can further restrict the growth assumptions.

We prove the absence of a Lavrentiev gap for vectorial integral functionals of the form $$ F: g+W_0^{1,1}(Ω)^m\to\mathbb{R}\cup\{+\infty\},\qquad F(u)=\int_ΩW(x,\mathrm{D} u)\,\mathrm{d}x, $$ where the boundary datum $g:Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^d\to\mathbb{R}^m$ is sufficiently regular, $ξ\mapsto W(x,ξ)$ is convex and lower semicontinuous, satisfies $p$-growth from below and suitable growth conditions from above. More precisely, if $p\leq d-1$, we assume $q$-growth from above with $q\leq \frac{(d-1)p}{d-1-p}$, while for $p>d-1$ we require essentially no growth conditions from above and allow for unbounded integrands.
