This paper deals with the description of the overall effect of pinning conditions in discrete systems. We study a variational problem on the discrete in which pinning sites are modeled as network subsets on which concentrated forces are imposed. We want to determine the asymptotic effect of pinning conditions on a periodic lattice as its size vanishes. Our analysis is performed in the framework...
