Abstract

Let KR2×2K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^{2 \times 2} be a compact set, let KrcK^{rc} be its rank-one convex hull, and let L(K)L(K) be its lamination convex hull. It is shown that the mapping KL(K)K \to \overline{L(K)} is not upper semicontinuous on the diagonal matrices in R2×2\mathbb{R}^{2 \times 2}, which was a problem left by Kol\'a\v{r}. This is followed by an example of a 5-point set of 2×22 \times 2 symmetric matrices with non-compact lamination hull. Finally, an example of another 5-point set KK is given, which has L(K)L(K) connected, compact and strictly smaller than KrcK^{rc}.
