Regular Minimizers of Some Free Discontinuity Problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that minimizers of free discontinuity problems with energy dependent on jump integrals and Dirichlet boundary conditions are smooth provided a smallness condition is imposed on data. We examine several examples, including elastic-plastic beam and plate with free yield lines and deformable body with free damage. In all cases there is a gap between the condition for solvability (safe load condition) and this smallness condition (load regularity condition). Such gap allows the existence of damaged/creased minimizers. Eventually we provide explicit examples of irregular solutions when the load stays in the gap.

Some remarks on the analyticity of minimizers of free discontinuity problems
In this paper we give a partial answer to a conjecture of De Giorgi, namely we prove that in dimension two the regular part of the discontinuity set of a local minimizer of the homogeneous Mumford-Shah functional is analytic with the exception of at most a countable number of isolated points.
متن کاملThe Calibration Method for Free Discontinuity Problems
The calibration method is used to identify some minimizers of the Mumford-Shah functional. The method is then extended to more general free discontinuity problems.
متن کاملGradient Bounds for Minimizers of Free Discontinuity Problems Related to Cohesive Zone Models in Fracture Mechanics
In this note we consider a free discontinuity problem for a scalar function, whose energy depends also on the size of the jump. We prove that the gradient of every smooth local minimizer never exceeds a constant, determined only by the data of the problem.
متن کاملMonotonicity formula and regularity for general free discontinuity problems
We give a general monotonicity formula for local minimizers of free discontinuity problems which have a critical deviation from minimality, of order d − 1. This result allows to prove partial regularity results (i.e. closure and density estimates for the jump set) for a large class of free discontinuity problems involving general energies associated to the jump set, as for example free boundary...
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.
