We consider the problem min⁡v∈ CJ(v)\min\limits_{v\in\,C}J(v), where JJ is the standard integral functional J(v)=∫Ωj(x,∇v)−∫Ωf(x) v(x),J(v) = \int_{\Omega} j(x,{\nabla v}) - \int_{\Omega} f(x)\,v(x), defined in the Sobolev space W01,q(Ω)W_0^{1,q}(\Omega). We study the convergence of the minima uu if we perturb the convex set CC in accordance with the Mosco convergence.
