TY - JOUR T1 - Gradient bounds for minimizers of free discontinuity problems related to cohesive zone models in fracture mechanics JF - Calc. Var. Partial Differential Equations 31 (2008) 137-145 Y1 - 2008 A1 - Gianni Dal Maso A1 - Adriana Garroni AB - 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.
