We study a class of non-local functionals that was introduced by Brezis-Seeger-Van Schaftingen-Yung (2022), and can be used to characterize functions of bounded variation. We give a new lower bound for the liminf of these functionals,…
We consider a class of non-local functionals recently introduced by H. Brezis, A. Seeger, J. Van Schaftingen, and P.-L. Yung, which offers a novel way to characterize functions with bounded variation. We give a positive answer to an open…
We consider the approximation of the total variation of a function by the family of non-local and non-convex functionals introduced by H. Brezis and H.-M. Nguyen in a recent paper. The approximating functionals are defined through double…
We consider the family of non-local and non-convex functionals introduced by H. Brezis and H.-M. Nguyen in a recent paper. These functionals Gamma-converge to a multiple of the Sobolev norm or the total variation, depending on a summability…
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…
We present new results concerning the approximation of the total variation, $\int_{\Omega} |\nabla u|$, of a function $u$ by non-local, non-convex functionals of the form $$ \Lambda_\delta u = \int_{\Omega} \int_{\Omega} \frac{\delta…
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 prove that certain non-local functionals defined on measurable sets Gamma-converge to the perimeter in the sense of De Giorgi.
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 briefly discuss the contribution of Ha\"im Brezis and his co-authors on the characterizations of the Sobolev norms and the total variation using non-local functionals. Some ideas of the analysis are given and new results are presented.
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…
This paper addresses the asymptotics of functionals with linear growth depending on the Riesz $s$-fractional gradient on piecewise constant functions. We consider a general class of varying energy densities and, as $s\to 1$, we characterize…
We consider a family of non-local and non-convex functionals, and we prove that their Gamma-liminf is bounded from below by a positive multiple of the Sobolev norm or the total variation. As a by-product, we answer some open questions…
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 $p>1$…
The center of interest in this work are variational problems with integral functionals depending on special nonlocal gradients. The latter correspond to truncated versions of the Riesz fractional gradient, as introduced in [Bellido, Cueto &…
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 study the pointwise convergence and the $\Gamma$-convergence of a family of non-local, non-convex functionals $\Lambda_\delta$ in $L^p(\Omega)$ for $p>1$. We show that the limits are multiples of $\int_{\Omega} |\nabla u|^p$. This is a…
We consider the family of non-local and non-convex functionals proposed and investigated by J. Bourgain, H. Brezis and H.-M. Nguyen in a series of papers of the last decade. It was known that this family of functionals Gamma-converges to a…
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…
A novel general framework for the study of $\Gamma$-convergence of functionals defined over pairs of measures and energy-measures is introduced. This theory allows us to identify the $\Gamma$-limit of these kind of functionals by knowing…
