\(\Gamma\)-convergence of equi-coercive nonlinear energies defined on vector-valued functions, with non-uniformly bounded coefficients (Q504370)

The focus is on the asymptotic behavior of equi-coercive sequences of nonlinear functionals (resembling situations from hyperelasticity) defined over vector-valued functions in \([W^{1,p}_0(\Omega)]^M\), where \(p >1\), \(M\geq 1\), while the set \(\Omega\) is open and bounded in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), \(n \geq 2\). The results are based on \(\Gamma\)-convergence-like arguments adapted to specific nonlinear (variational) structures.
