The double-well potential is assumed to be even and equal to $|s-1|^\beta$ near $s=1$, with $1<\beta<2$. The first order term in the asymptotic development by $\Gamma$-convergence is well-known, and is related to a suitable anisotropic perimeter of the interface. Here it is shown that, under these assumptions, the second order term is zero, which gives an estimate on the rate of convergence of the minimum values.10aGamma-convergence, Cahn-Hilliard functional, phase transitions1 aDal Maso, Gianni1 aFonseca, Irene1 aLeoni, Giovanni uhttp://hdl.handle.net/1963/739001048nas a2200145 4500008004100000245010400041210006900145260001300214520050500227653007400732100002100806700001900827700002000846856003600866 2013 en d00aAnalytical validation of a continuum model for epitaxial growth with elasticity on vicinal surfaces0 aAnalytical validation of a continuum model for epitaxial growth bSpringer3 aIn this paper it is shown existence of weak solutions of a variational inequality derived from the continuum model introduced by Xiang [7, formula (3.62)] (see also the work of Xiang and E [8] and Xu and Xiang [9]) to describe the self-organization of terraces and steps driven by misfit elasticity between a film and a substrate in heteroepitaxial growth.

Scaling arguments motivate the study of the family of second order singular perturbed energies Fe having a negative term depending on the first derivative of the phase function. Here, the asymptotic behavior of {Fe} is studied using G-convergence techniques. In particular, compactness results and an integral representation of the limit energy are obtained.1 aChermisi, Milena1 aDal Maso, Gianni1 aFonseca, Irene1 aLeoni, Giovanni uhttp://hdl.handle.net/1963/385800773nas a2200145 4500008004300000245007900043210006900122260001300191520030200204100001900506700002000525700002100545700002500566856003600591 2010 en_Ud 00aExact reconstruction of damaged color images using a total variation model0 aExact reconstruction of damaged color images using a total varia bElsevier3 aIn this paper the reconstruction of damaged piecewice constant color images is studied using a RGB total variation based model for colorization/inpainting.

The total free energy of the system is assumed to be the sum of the energy of the free surface of the film and the strain energy. Because of the lattice mismatch between film and substrate, flat configurations are in general energetically unfavorable and a corrugated or islanded morphology is the preferred growth mode of the strained film. After specifying the functional setup in which the existence problem can be properly framed, a study of the qualitative properties of the solutions is undertaken. New regularity results for volume-constrained local minimizers of the total free energy are established, leading, as a byproduct, to a rigorous proof of the zero-contact-angle condition between islands and wetting layers.1 aFonseca, Irene1 aFusco, Nicola1 aLeoni, Giovanni1 aMorini, Massimiliano uhttp://hdl.handle.net/1963/235000581nas a2200109 4500008004300000245009300043210006900136520018500205100002000390700002500410856003600435 2007 en_Ud 00aNecessary and sufficient conditions for the chainrule in W1,1loc(RN;Rd) and BVloc(RN;Rd)0 aNecessary and sufficient conditions for the chainrule in W11locR3 a

Precisely, it is proved that a smooth strictly 2-quasiconvex function with p-growth at infinity, p>1, is the restriction to symmetric matrices of a 1-quasiconvex function with the same growth. As a consequence, lower semicontinuity results for second-order variational problems are deduced as corollaries of well-known first order theorems.1 aDal Maso, Gianni1 aFonseca, Irene1 aLeoni, Giovanni1 aMorini, Massimiliano uhttp://hdl.handle.net/1963/2911
