Abstract
We consider entire solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equation associated to the variational integral with a strictly convex density being of linear growth. We show that the condition implies the Bernstein property, which means that must be an affine function. If this condition on g is weakened, we still have some partial Bernstein results.
