Abstract

We approximate functionals depending on the gradient of u and on the behaviour of u near the discontinuity points by families of non-local functionals where the gradient is replaced by finite differences. We prove pointwise convergence, Γ-convergence and a compactness result, which implies, in particular, the convergence of minima and minimizers.
