Γ-convergence for stable states and local minimizers
Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze, Série 5, Tome 10 (2011) no. 1, pp. 193-206.

We introduce new definitions of convergence, based on adding stability criteria to Γ-convergence, that are suitable in many cases for studying convergence of local minimizers.
