Abstract: We consider energies on a periodic set $mathcalL$ of ${mathbbR}^d$ of the form $su{m}_{i,jinmathcalL}{a}^{v}arepsilo{n}_{ij}|u_i-u_j|$, defined on spin functions $u_{i}in0,1$, and we suppose that the typical range of the interactions is $R_{v}arepsilon$ with $R_{v}arepsilono+infty$, i.e., if $|i-j|le{R}_{v}arepsilon$ then $a^{v}arepsilo{n}_{ij}gec>0$. In a discrete-to-continuum analysis, we prove that the overall behaviour as $varepsilono0$ of such functionals is that of an interfacial energy. The proof is performed using a coarse-graining procedure which associates to scaled functions defined on $varepsilonmathcalL$ with equibounded energy a family of sets with equibounded perimeter. This agrees with the case of equibounded $R_{v}arepsilon$ and can be seen as an extension of coerciveness result for short-range interactions, but is different from that of other long-range interaction energies, whose limit exits the class of surface energies. A computation of the limit energy is performed in the case $mathcalL={mathbbZ}^d$.
