    A Relaxation Result in the Vectorial Setting and Power Law Approximation for Supremal Functionals

    No full text
    We provide relaxation for not lower semicontinuous supremal functionals defined on vectorial Lipschitz functions, where the Borel level convex density depends only on the gradient. The connection with indicator functionals is also enlightened, thus extending previous lower semicontinuity results in that framework. Finally, we discuss the power law approximation of supremal functionals, with nonnegative, coercive densities having explicit dependence also on the spatial variable, and satisfying minimal measurability assumptions

    Some Approaches to the Study of Non Simple Materials Grade Two Thin Films

    No full text
    Dimension reduction is used to derive the energy of grade two materials thin films.with bulk interfacial energies. Two different approaches, both relying on Gamma convergence have been used to derive the limit model. One leads to a representation in terms of Young measures, the other one is in terms of an integral representaion on Sobolev spaces. References to Cosserat's theory is also provide

    Revisited convexity notions for L∞ variational problems

    No full text
    We address a detailed study of the convexity notions that arise in the study of weak* lower semicontinuity of supremal functionals, as well as those arising by the Lp-approximation, as p→+∞ of such functionals. Our quest is motivated by the knowledge we have on the analogous integral functionals and aims at establishing a solid groundwork underlying further research in the L∞ context
