We consider the relaxation of polyconvex functionals with linear growth with respect to the strict convergence in the space of functions of bounded variation. These functionals appears as relaxation of $F(u,\Omega):=\int_\Omega f(\nabla…

We analyse the $\Gamma$-convergence of general non-local convolution type functionals with varying densities depending on the space variable and on the symmetrized gradient. The limit is a local free-discontinuity functional, where the bulk…

We obtain new characterizations of the Sobolev spaces $\dot W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ and the bounded variation space $\dot{BV}(\mathbb{R}^N)$. The characterizations are in terms of the functionals $\nu_{\gamma} (E_{\lambda,\gamma/p}[u])$…

In this paper, we study the critical Sobolev embeddings $W^{1,p(x)}(\Omega)\subset L^{p^*(x)}(\Omega)$ for variable exponent Sobolev spaces from the point of view of the $\Gamma$-convergence. More precisely we determine the $\Gamma$-limit…

We discuss the $\Gamma$-convergence, under the appropriate scaling, of the energy functional $$ \|u\|_{H^s(\Omega)}^2+\int_\Omega W(u)dx,$$ with $s \in (0,1)$, where $\|u\|_{H^s(\Omega)}$ denotes the total contribution from $\Omega$ in the…

We investigate the $\Gamma$-convergence of Ambrosio-Tortorelli type-functionals for circle valued functions, in the case of volume terms with linear growth. We show the emergence of a non-local $\Gamma$-limit, which is due to the…

In this paper we study the $\Gamma$-limit, as $p\to 1$, of the functional $$ J_{p}(u)=\frac{\displaystyle\int_\Omega |\nabla u|^p + \beta\int_{ \partial \Omega} |u|^p}{\displaystyle \int_\Omega |u|^p}, $$ where $\Omega$ is a smooth bounded…

We analyze a family of non-local integral functionals of convolution-type depending on two small positive parameters $\varepsilon,\delta$: the first rules the length-scale of the non-local interactions and produces a `localization' effect…

In this paper we study the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem $$ -\Delta_p u-\Delta_{J,p}u =\lambda|u|^{p-2}u \quad \text{ in } \Omega,\quad u=0 \quad\text{ in } \Omega^c=\mathbb{R}^N\setminus\Omega. $$ Here $\Delta_p u$ is the standard local…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded, smooth domain of $\mathbb{R}^{N},$ $N\geq1.$ For each $p>N$ we study the optimal function $s=s_{p}$ in the pointwise inequality \[ \left\vert v(x)\right\vert \leq s(x)\left\Vert \nabla v\right\Vert…

We study the limit behaviour of singularly-perturbed elliptic functionals of the form \[ \mathcal F_k(u,v)=\int_A v^2\,f_k(x,\nabla u)\.dx+\frac{1}{\varepsilon_k}\int_A g_k(x,v,\varepsilon_k\nabla v)\.dx\,, \] where $u$ is a vector-valued…

We study local boundedness for subsolutions of nonlinear nonuniformly elliptic equations whose prototype is given by $\nabla \cdot (\lambda |\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u)=0$, where the variable coefficient $0\leq\lambda$ and its inverse…

The objective of this work is to investigate a nonlocal problem involving singular and critical nonlinearities:\begin{equation*}\left\{\begin{array}{ll} ([u]_{s,p}^p)^{\sigma-1}(-\Delta)^s_p u = \frac{\lambda}{u^{\gamma}}+u^{ p_s^{*}-1…

We establish the $\Gamma$-convergence of some energy functionals describing nonlocal attractive interactions in bounded domains. The interaction potential solves an elliptic equation (local or nonlocal) in the bounded domain and the primary…

We prove that certain nonlocal functionals defined on partitions made of measurable sets Gamma-converge to a local functional modeled on the perimeter in the sense of De Giorgi. Those nonlocal functionals involve generalized surface tension…

We investigate the problem of pointwise convergence of the family of non-linear integral operators: \begin{equation} L_\lambda(f,x) = \int_a^b \sum_{m=1}^N f^m(t) K_{\lambda ,m}(x,t) dt, \end{equation} where $\lambda $ is a real parameters,…

We study integral functionals constrained to divergence-free vector fields in $L^p$ on a thin domain, under standard $p$-growth and coercivity assumptions, $1<p<\infty$. We prove that as the thickness of the domain goes to zero, the…

We study a class of non-local functionals that was introduced by Brezis--Seeger--Van Schaftingen--Yung, and can be used to characterize the total variation of functions. We establish the $\Gamma$-limit of these functionals with respect to…
