Nonconvex variational problems are of importance in modeling problems of microstructures and elasticity. In this book, we consider a $1$-d nonconvex problem and we prove existence of solutions of the corresponding non-elliptic Euler-Lagrange equation by considering the Euler-Lagrange equation of the singular perturbed variational problem and passing to the limit. Under general assumptions on the potential we prove existence of Young-measure solutions. More restrictive conditions on the potential yield classical solutions via a topological method. The singular perturbed problem, which is also of interest for physicists due to the higher gradient surface-energy, is discussed in big detail.
