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 prove compactness with respect to $\Gamma$-convergence for a general class of non-local energies modelled after the ones considered in [Gobbino, CPAM (1998)]. We give an integral representation result for the limits, which are free…
We prove a compactness result with respect to $\Gamma$-convergence for a class of integral functionals which are expressed as a sum of a local and a non-local term. The main feature is that, under our hypotheses, the local part of 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…
Under a suitable notion of equivalence of integral densities we prove a $\Gamma$-closure theorem for integral functionals: The limit of a sequence of $\Gamma$-convergent families of such functionals is again a $\Gamma$-convergent family.…
This paper is on $\Gamma$-convergence for degenerate integral functionals related to homogenisation problems in the Heisenberg group. Here both the rescaling and the notion of invariance or periodicity are chosen in a way motivated by the…
We study the homogenization of a class of non-local functionals featuring a rapidly oscillating periodic weight. By means of two-scale convergence, we explicitly evaluate the {\Gamma}-limit for constant target functions, revealing how the…
We study the integral representation of $\Gamma$-limits of $p$-coercive integral functionals of the calculus of variations in the spirit of \cite{dalmaso-modica86}. We use infima of local Dirichlet problems to characterize the limit…

We propose an abstract framework for the homogenization of random functionals which may contain non-convex terms, based on a two-scale $\Gamma$-convergence approach and a definition of Young measures on micropatterns which encodes the…
This work deals with the homogenization of functionals with linear growth in the context of $\mathcal{A}$-quasiconvexity. A representation theorem is proved, where the new integrand function is obtained by solving a cell problem where the…
