A relation between Г-convergence of functionals and their associated gradient flows
Tóm tắt
Giorgi conjectured in 1979 that if a sequence of functionals converges in the sense of Г-convergence to a limiting functional, then the corresponding gradient flows will converge as well after changing timescale appropriately. It is shown that this conjecture holds true for a rather wide kind of functionals.
