A version of Taylor's theorem is first shown to be valid provided the integrand W has polynomial growth. This result is then used to demonstrate that, for the Dirichlet, Neumann, and mixed problems, every Lipschitz-continuous solution of the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations at which the second variation of the energy is uniformly positive is a strict local minimizer of the energy in W1,BMO(Ω;RN), the subspace of the Sobolev space W1,1(Ω;RN) for which the weak derivative ∇u∈BMO(Ω;RN×n).}, title = {Taylor’s theorem for functionals on BMO with application to BMO local minimizers}, year = {2020} }
