Abstract

A linearly convergent iterative algorithm that approximates the rank-1 convex envelope $f^{rc}$ of a given function $f:\mathbb{R}^{n\times m} \to \mathbb{R}$, i.e. the largest function below f which is convex along all rank-1 lines, is established. The proposed algorithm is a modified version of an approximation scheme due to Dolzmann and Walkington.
