Γ-convergence of functionals on divergence-free fields

چکیده
We study the stability of a sequence of integral functionals on divergence-free matrix valued fields following the direct methods of Γ-convergence. We prove that the Γ-limit is an integral functional on divergence-free matrix valued fields. Moreover, we show that the Γlimit is also stable under volume constraint and various type of boundary conditions.

Dimension reduction for functionals on solenoidal vector fields
We study integral functionals constrained to divergence-free vector fields in Lp on a thin domain, under standard p-growth and coercivity assumptions, 1 < p < ∞. We prove that as the thickness of the domain goes to zero, the Gamma-limit with respect to weak convergence in Lp is always given by the associated functional with convexified energy density wherever it is finite. Remarkably, this happ...
متن کاملFinite Difference Approximation of Free Discontinuity Problems
We approximate functionals depending on the gradient of u and on the behaviour of u near the discontinuity points, by families of non-local functionals where the gradient is replaced by finite differences. We prove pointwise convergence, Γ-convergence, and a compactness result which implies, in particular, the convergence of minima and minimizers. AMS (MOS) subject classifications: 49J45, 65K10.

A class of free-discontinuity problems is approximated in the sense of Γ-convergence by a sequence of non-local integral functionals.
متن کاملThin-film Limits of Functionals on A-free Vector Fields
This paper deals with variational principles on thin films with linear PDE constraints represented by a constant-rank operator A, and studies the effective behavior, in the sense of Γ-convergence, of integral functionals as the thickness of the domain tends to zero. The limit integral functional turns out to be determined by the A-quasiconvex envelope of the original energy density and is const...
متن کاملSummer precipitation determinant factors of Iran's South-East
Indian Ocean is known as a source of moisture for southeast of Iran due to summer precipitation. In this study, in order to investigate the role of SST of Indian Ocean, and the convergence and divergence fields in the precipitation of southeast of Iran, precipitation data of five synoptic stations were used during 2000-2010, including Iranshahr, Khash, ChahBahar, Zabul, and Saravan. To investig...
