On the asymptotic behaviour of nonlocal perimeters
Abstract
We study a class of integral functionals known as nonlocal perimeters, which, intuitively, express a weighted interaction between a set and its complement. The weight is provided by a positive kernel K, which might be singular. In the first part of the paper, we show that these functionals are indeed perimeters in a generalised sense and we establish existence of minimisers for the corresponding Plateau problem. Also, when K is radial and strictly decreasing, we prove that halfspaces are minimisers if we prescribe flat boundary conditions. A Gamma-convergence result is discussed in the second part of the work. We study the limiting behaviour of the nonlocal perimeters associated with certain rescalings of a given kernel that has faster-than-L1 decay at infinity and we show that the Gamma-limit is the classical perimeter, up to a multiplicative constant that we compute explicitly.
