TY - JOUR T1 - A lower semicontinuity result for a free discontinuity functional with a boundary term JF - Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées Y1 - 2017 A1 - Stefano Almi A1 - Gianni Dal Maso A1 - Rodica Toader AB -

We study the lower semicontinuity in $GSBV^{p}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^{m})$ of a free discontinuity functional $\mathcal{F}(u)$ that can be written as the sum of a crack term, depending only on the jump set $S_{u}$, and of a boundary term, depending on the trace of $u$ on $\partial\Omega$. We give sufficient conditions on the integrands for the lower semicontinuity of $\mathcal{F}$. Moreover, we prove a relaxation result, which shows that, if these conditions are not satisfied, the lower semicontinuous envelope of $\mathcal{F}$ can be represented by the sum of two integrals on $S_{u}$ and $\partial\Omega$, respectively.
