Gamma-convergence

Gamma-convergence is a notion of convergence for functionals very useful to study the asymptotic behaviour of families of minimization problems, namely, given a familly of functionals F_h, under very mild conditions we can identify a limit F and get the convergence of minimizers of F_h to minimizers of F. In this talk we discuss the main ideas and refer some applications of this variational convergence.
