We study existence of solutions in SBV02(Ω) of a variational problem involving bulk and interfacial energy terms, but with the bulk energy not attaining a minimum at the prescribed boundary value. We obtain an expression for the relaxed energy and give some properties satisfied by the solutions of the relaxed problem.
Keywords: Functions of bounded variation, relaxation.
