Homogenization of interfacial energies and construction of plane-like minimizers in periodic media through a cell problem (Q2268189)

The authors consider the homogenization of a periodic surface energy combined with (exploding in the limit \(\epsilon\to 0\)) bulk forcing term. After appropriate rescaling of the total energy, they show convergence (in the homogenization limit) to an anisotropic perimeter with interfacial energy characterized by the energies of plane-like minimizers in balls of large volume. The proof is based on \(\Gamma\)-convergence type arguments.
