We propose a homogenized supremal functional rigorously derived via $L^p$-approximation by functionals of the type $\underset{x\in\Omega}{\mbox{ess-sup}}\hspace{0.03cm} f\left(\frac{x}{\varepsilon}, Du\right)$, when $\Omega$ is a bounded…

A systematic study of deformations of four-dimensional Einsteinian space-times embedded in a pseudo-Euclidean space $E^N$ of higher dimension is presented. Infinitesimal deformations, seen as vector fields in $E^N$, can be divided in two…
