Multi-Scale Free-Discontinuity Problems with Soft Inclusions
We consider, in an open subset of , energies depending on the perimeter of a subset (or some equivalent surface integral) and on a function which is defined only on . We compute the lower semicontinuous envelope of such energies. This relaxation has to take into account the fact that in the limit, the “holes” may collapse into a discontinuity of , whose surface will be counted twice in the relaxed energy. We discuss some situations where such energies appear, and give, as an application,...
