Review text

A model of dielectric breakdown is introduced for an \(\varepsilon\)-periodic insulator, involving bounded constraints on the gradient. The authors present a homogenization result by proving the \(\Gamma\)-convergence of the corresponding family of functionals. The proof is based on the approximation of the functionals by standard energies with \(p\)-growth and on an original construction performed for periodic Lipschitz functions which are piecewise affine. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1026.00021].
