Motivated by applications to image reconstruction, in this paper we analyse a \emph{finite-difference discretisation} of the Ambrosio-Tortorelli functional. Denoted by $\varepsilon$ the elliptic-approximation parameter and by $\delta$ the…

We consider a family of three-dimensional stiffened plates whose dimensions are scaled through different powers of a small parameter $\varepsilon$. The plate and the stiffener are assumed to be linearly elastic, isotropic, and homogeneous.…

We derive exact relations for $N$ spin-1/2 fermions with zero-range or short-range interactions, in continuous space or on a lattice, in $2D$ or in $3D$, in any external potential. Some of them generalize known relations between energy,…

We calculate the ground-state energy, pair correlation function, static structure factor, and momentum density of the one-dimensional electron fluid at high density using variational quantum Monte Carlo simulation. For an infinitely thin…

This work is motivated by the classical discrete elastic rod model by Audoly et al. We derive a discrete version of the Kirchhoff elastic energy for rods undergoing bending and torsion and prove $\Gamma$-convergence to the continuous model.…

In this paper we consider the Euclidean Steiner tree problem and, more generally, (single sink) Gilbert--Steiner problems as prototypical examples of variational problems involving 1-dimensional connected sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Following…

We consider the shape optimization problem $$\min\big\{{\mathcal E}(\Gamma)\ :\ \Gamma\in{\mathcal A},\ {\mathcal H}^1(\Gamma)=l\ \big\},$$ where ${\mathcal H}^1$ is the one-dimensional Hausdorff measure and ${\mathcal A}$ is an admissible…

We calculate the one-loop correction to the distribution of energy-momentum tensor around a kink in $1+1$ dimensional $\phi^4$ model. We employ the collective coordinate method to eliminate the zero mode that gives rise to infrared…

We consider the graph dynamical systems known as k-reversible processes. In such processes, each vertex in the graph has one of two possible states at each discrete time step. Each vertex changes its state between the current time and the…

We prove an homogenization result, in terms of $\Gamma$-convergence, for energies concentrated on rectifiable lines in $\R^3$ without boundary. The main application of our result is in the context of dislocation lines in dimension $3$. The…

The Gamma-limit of higher-order singular perturbations of the Perona-Malik functional is analyzed. The energies considered combine the critically scaled logarithmic term with a k-th order regularization designed to balance bulk and…

We consider the well-known minimizing-movement approach to the definition of a solution of gradient-flow type equations by means of an implicit Euler scheme depending on an energy and a dissipation term. We perturb the energy by considering…

This is the first in a series of two papers in which we derive a $\Gamma$-expansion for a two-dimensional non-local Ginzburg-Landau energy with Coulomb repulsion, also known as the Ohta-Kawasaki model in connection with diblock copolymer…

This paper studies properties of $\Gamma$-limits of Korevaar-Schoen $p$-energies on a Cheeger space. When $p>1$, this kind of limit provides a natural $p$-energy form that can be used to define a $p$-Laplacian, and whose domain is the…

We study wrinkling patterns in a thin elastic annulus subjected to radial stretching within the framework of the F\"oppl--von K\'arm\'an theory. Building on the analysis of the Lam\'e problem in Bella and Kohn, we investigate the asymptotic…

We prove a ${\Gamma}$-convergence result for the $p$-Dirichlet energy functional defined on maps from a smooth bounded domain $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^{n+k}$ to $\mathscr{N}$, a $(k-2)$-connected and smooth closed Riemannian manifold…

We provide a general treatment of perturbations of a class of functionals modeled on convolution energies with integrable kernel which approximate the $p$-th norm of the gradient as the kernel is scaled by letting a small parameter…

We show that the universal $1/k^4$ tail in the momentum distribution of dilute Fermi gases implies that the spectral function $A(\kk,\omega)$ must have weight below the chemical potential for large momentum $k \gg k_F$, with observable…

We show that the linear brittle Griffith energy on a thin rectangle $\Gamma$-converges after rescaling to the linear one-dimensional brittle Euler-Bernoulli beam energy. In contrast to the existing literature, we prove a corresponding sharp…

Given $p\in[1,\infty)$ and a bounded open set $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^d$ with Lipschitz boundary, we study the $\Gamma$-convergence of the weighted fractional seminorm \[ [u]_{s,p,f}^p = \int_{\mathbb R^d} \int_{\mathbb R^d}…
