Asymptotic analysis of Mumford-Shah type energies in periodically perforated domains (Q2372149)

Summary: We study the asymptotic limit of obstacle problems for Mumford-Shah type functionals with \(p\)-growth in periodically-perforated domains via the \(\Gamma\)-convergence of the associated free-discontinuity energies. In the limit a non-trivial penalization term related to the \(1\)-capacity of the reference hole appears if and only if the size of the perforation scales like \(\varepsilon^{n/(n-1)}\), being \(\varepsilon\) its periodicity. We give two different formulations of the obstacle problem to include also perforations with Lebesgue measure zero.
