A relation between Gamma convergence of functionals and their associated gradient flows

Analysis of PDEs 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

De Giorgi conjectured in 1979 that if a sequence of functionals converges in the sense of Gamma-convergence to a limiting functional, then the corresponding gradient flows will converge as well after changing timescale appropriately. It is shown that this conjecture holds true for a rather wide kind of functionals.
