Γ-limits of convolution functionals
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Volume 19 (2013) no. 2, pp. 486-515.

We compute the Γ-limit of a sequence of non-local integral functionals depending on a regularization of the gradient term by means of a convolution kernel. In particular, as Γ-limit, we obtain free discontinuity functionals with linear growth and with anisotropic surface energy density.
