\(\Gamma\)-limits of singular perturbation problems involving energies with non-local terms (Q1754668)

The author introduces a new method to reformulate certain classes of problems involving non-local terms as local problems. This allows to apply the techniques developed for the \(\Gamma\)-limit of singular perturbation problems with optimal profiles which are not one-dimensional [the author, Differ. Integral Equ. 26, No. 9--10, 1179--1234 (2013; Zbl 1299.35046); Isr. J. Math. 210, 359--398 (2015; Zbl 1331.35028)], to prove upper and lower bounds for problems arising in micromagnetics and in the variational study of the Method of Vanishing Viscosity for systems of conservation laws.
