A lower semicontinuity result in BV is obtained for quasiconvex integrals with subquadratic growth. The key steps in this proof involve obtaining boundedness properties for an extension operator, and a precise blow-up technique that uses fine properties of Sobolev maps. A similar result is obtained by Kristensen in [Calc. Var. Partial Differ. Equ. 7 (1998) 249-261], where there are weaker asssumptions on convergence but the integral needs to satisfy a stronger growth condition.
Keywords: lower semicontinuity, quasiconvex integrals, functions of bounded variation
