We study the $\Gamma$-convergence of a family of non-local, non-convex functionals in $L^p(I)$ for $p \ge 1$, where $I$ is an open interval. We show that the limit is a multiple of the $W^{1, p}(I)$ semi-norm to the power $p$ when $p>1$…

We prove partial regularity for minimizers of quasiconvex functionals of the type $\int_\Omega f(x,Du) dx$ with $p(x)$ growth with respect to the second variable. The proof is direct and uses a method of $A$-harmonic approximation.

The Hohenberg-Kohn density functional was long ago shown to reduce to the Thomas-Fermi approximation in the non-relativistic semiclassical (or large-$Z$) limit for all matter, i.e, the kinetic energy becomes local. Exchange also becomes…
