The authors consider a variational integral functional of the type \[ F_{\varepsilon}(u)=\frac 1{\varepsilon}\int_{\Omega}f(\varepsilon|\nabla u|^2) dx+ \varepsilon^{\gamma}\int_{\Omega} |Hu|^2 dx \] where \(\Omega\subset R^n\), \(n\geq 1\), is an open bounded set and \(Hu \) is the Hessian matrix of \(u.\) The main result is the integral representation of the \(\Gamma\)-limit of \(F_{\varepsilon}\) as \(\varepsilon\to 0^+\), in the space \(\text{SBV}(\Omega)\) of special functions of bounded variation. The present research extends to higher dimensions an analogous result proved by the same authors in a joint paper with \textit{A. Braides} [Proc. R. Soc. Edinb., Sect. A, Math. 128, No. 6, 1115-1129 (1998; Zbl 0920.49007)] in the scalar case (n=1).
