This paper is on $Gamma$-convergence for degenerate integral functionals related to homogenisation problems in the Heisenberg group. Here both the rescaling and the notion of invariance or periodicity are chosen in a way motivated by the geometry of the Heisenberg group. Without using special geometric features, these functionals would be neither coercive nor periodic, so classic results do not apply. All the results apply to the more general case of Carnot groups.

We study Gamma-convergence of graph based Ginzburg-Landau functionals, both the limit for zero diffusive interface parameter epsilon->0 and the limit for infinite nodes in the graph m -> infinity. For general graphs we prove that in the limit epsilon -> 0 the graph cut objective function is recovered. We show that the continuum limit of this objective function on 4-regular graphs is related to the total variation seminorm and compare it with the limit of the discretized Ginzburg-Landau functional. For both functionals we also study the simultaneous limit epsilon -> 0 and m -> infinity, by expressing epsilon as a power of m and taking m -> infinity. Finally we investigate the continuum limit for a nonlocal means type functional on a completely connected graph.
A novel general framework for the study of $Gamma$-convergence of functionals defined over pairs of measures and energy-measures is introduced. This theory allows us to identify the $Gamma$-limit of these kind of functionals by knowing the $Gamma$-limit of the underlining energies. In particular, the interaction between the functionals and the underlining energies results, in the case these latter converge to a non continuous energy, in an additional effect in the relaxation process. This study was motivated by a question in the context of epitaxial growth evolution with adatoms. Interesting cases of application of the general theory are also presented.
In this manuscript we establish local Holder regularity estimates for bounded solutions of a certain class of doubly degenerate evolution PDEs. By making use of intrinsic scaling techniques and geometric tangential methods, we derive sharp regularity estimates for such models, which depend only on universal and compatibility parameters of the problem. In such a scenario, our results are natural improvements for former ones in the context of nonlinear evolution PDEs with degenerate structure via a unified approach. As a consequence for our findings and approach, we address a Liouville type result for entire solutions of a related homogeneous problem with frozen coefficients and asymptotic estimates under a certain approximating regime, which may have their own mathematical interest. We also deliver explicit examples of degenerate PDEs where our results take place.
We study a class of linear parabolic equations in divergence form with degenerate coefficients on the upper half space. Specifically, the equations are considered in $(-infty, T) times mathbb{R}^d_+$, where $mathbb{R}^d_+ = {x in mathbb{R}^d,:, x_d>0}$ and $Tin {(-infty, infty]}$ is given, and the diffusion matrices are the product of $x_d$ and bounded uniformly elliptic matrices, which are degenerate at ${x_d=0}$. As such, our class of equations resembles well the corresponding class of degenerate viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations. We obtain wellposedness results and regularity type estimates in some appropriate weighted Sobolev spaces for the solutions.
In this work we give a proof of the mean-field limit for $lambda$-convex potentials using a purely variational viewpoint. Our approach is based on the observation that all evolution equations that we study can be written as gradient flows of functionals at different levels: in the set of probability measures, in the set of symmetric probability measures on $N$ variables, and in the set of probability measures on probability measures. This basic fact allows us to rely on $Gamma$-convergence tools for gradient flows to complete the proof by identifying the limits of the different terms in the Evolutionary Variational Inequalities (EVIs) associated to each gradient flow. The $lambda$-convexity of the confining and interaction potentials is crucial for the unique identification of the limits and for deriving the EVIs at each description level of the interacting particle system.
