Résumé

In this work we study the structure of approximate solutions of autonomous variational problems with a lower semicontinuous strictly convex integrand $f$ : $R^n$$\times$$R^n$ $\to$ $R^1$$\cup$ $\left\{\infty \right\}$, where $R^n$ is the $n$-dimensional euclidean space. We obtain a full description of the structure of the approximate solutions which is independent of the length of the interval, for all sufficiently large intervals.
