We explore the asymptotic behavior of families of Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu type nonlocal functionals for mappings from metric measure spaces to arbitrary metric spaces. As the first outcome, we obtain a characterization of Sobolev maps and…
In this article we study the asymptotic behavior of anisotropic nonlocal nonstandard growth seminorms and modulars as the fractional parameter goes to 1. This gives a so-called Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu type formula for a very general…
We investigate the asymptotic behavior, as $\varepsilon \to 0$, of nonlocal functionals $$ \mathcal{F}_{\varepsilon}(u) = \iint_{\mathbb{R}^N\times\mathbb{R}^N} \rho_{\varepsilon}(y-x)\,|u(x)-u(y)|^p\,dx\,dy,\qquad u\in…

We study the asymptotic behavior of three classes of nonlocal functionals in complete metric spaces equipped with a doubling measure and supporting a Poincar\'e inequality. We show that the limits of these nonlocal functionals are…
We study the rate of convergence of some nonlocal functionals recently considered by Bourgain, Brezis and Mironescu. In particular we establish the $\Gamma$-convergence of the corresponding rate functionals, suitably rescaled, to a limit…
A Bourgain--Brezis--Mironescu-type theorem for fractional Sobolev spaces with variable exponents is established for sufficiently regular functions. We prove, however, that a limiting embedding theorem for these spaces fails to hold in…
We address a classical open question by H.Brezis and R.Ignat concerning the characterization of constant functions through double integrals that involve difference quotients. Our first result is a counterexample to the question in its full…
We study a class of nonlocal functionals in the spirit of the recent characterization of the Sobolev spaces $W^{1,p}$ derived by Bourgain, Brezis and Mironescu. We show that it provides a common roof to the description of the…
We obtain an asymptotic representation formula for harmonic functions with respect to a linear anisotropic nonlocal operator. Furthermore we get a Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu type limit formula for a related class of anisotropic nonlocal…
In the setting of metric measure spaces satisfying the doubling condition and the $(1,p)$-Poincar\'e inequality, we prove a metric analogue of the Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu formula for functions in the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(X,d,\nu)$,…
Let $(X,d,\mu)$ be a metric measure space satisfying a $Q$-doubling condition, $Q>1$, and an $L^2$-Poincar\'{e} inequality. Let $\mathscr{L}=\mathcal{L}+V$ be a Schr\"odinger operator on $X$, where $\mathcal{L}$ is a non-negative operator…
We consider sequences of quadratic non-local functionals, depending on a small parameter $\e$, that approximate the Dirichlet integral by a well-known result by Bourgain, Brezis and Mironescu. Similarly to what is done for hard-core…
Numerous characterizations of Sobolev norms via the asymptotic behavior of non-local functionals have been established over the past decades; however, their validity beyond the PI framework remains poorly understood. We establish such a…
Given $p\in[1,\infty)$, we provide sufficient and necessary conditions on the non-negative measurable kernels $(\rho_t)_{t\in(0,1)}$ ensuring convergence of the associated Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu (BBM) energies…
We identify the Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu pointwise limit of the nonlocal potential operator $(1-\alpha)\, I_\alpha(\mathcal D^\alpha f)$, $0<\alpha<1$, where $I_\alpha$ denotes the Riesz potential and $\mathcal D^\alpha$ a nonlinear…
The studies of Ram\'irez, Hino-Ram\'irez, and Ariyoshi-Hino showed that an integrated version of Varadhan's asymptotics holds for Markovian semigroups associated with arbitrary strong local symmetric Dirichlet forms. In this paper, we…
In this paper we consider a family of non local functionals of convolution-type depending on a small parameter $\varepsilon>0$ and $\Gamma$-converging to local functionals defined on Sobolev spaces as $\varepsilon\to 0$. We study the…
We study a characterization of BV and Sobolev functions via nonlocal functionals in metric spaces equipped with a doubling measure and supporting a Poincar\'e inequality. Compared with previous works, we consider more general functionals.…
