Graça Carita (Universidade de Évora)

Title: "Dimension reduction and relaxation for optimal design problems 
with a perimeter penalization"
Abstract: A 3D-2D dimension reduction for a nonlinear optimal design 
problem with
a perimeter penalization and with superlinear growth is performed 
providing an
integral representation for the limit energy.
In the linear growth an integral representation in the space of functions of
bounded variation is achieved. The presence of a perimeter penalization 
is also
considered in order to avoid non existence of admissible solutions 
besides this
leads to an interaction in the limit energy. More general models have 
been taken
into account.
This is a joint work with Elvira Zappale.

Venue: SISSA, room 133, Wednesday 30 September at 4 pm
