We study the structure of approximate solutions of an autonomous variational problem with a lower semicontinuous integrand f:Rn×Rn→R1∪{∞},f:R^n\times R^n \to R^1\cup \{\infty\}, where RnR^n is the nn-dimensional Euclidean space. We are interested in a turnpike property of the approximate solutions which are independent of the length of the interval, for all sufficiently large intervals.
