Riesz fractional gradient functionals defined on partitions: nonlocal-to-local variational limits

Analysis of PDEs 2025-10-07 v1

Abstract

This paper addresses the asymptotics of functionals with linear growth depending on the Riesz ss-fractional gradient on piecewise constant functions. We consider a general class of varying energy densities and, as s1s\to 1, we characterize their local limiting functionals in the sense of Γ\Gamma-convergence.
