We construct variational problems with infima that have non-trivial
continuous dependence upon the Sobolev space from which the competing
functions are taken. It is shown, for each m
in a particular class of continuous functions, that there is a variational
integral and boundary conditions such that, for every p from [1, infinity],
the infimum is equal to m(p) if the admissible
class is a subset of W1, p. Thus, the manner in which the
infimum depends upon the Sobolev exponent may be prescribed.
