Abstract

In the present work, we deal with the problem of the asymptotic behavior of a sequence of non-homogeneous energies depending on a pair set-function of the form [Formula: see text] with u ∈ H1(Ω), E regular open set and the energy densities f and φ both 1-periodic in the first variable; this leads, in the Γ-limit, to a problem of homogenization. We prove a Γ-convergence result for the sequence {Fε}, showing that there is no interaction between the homogenized bulk and surface energy density; that is, even though the effect of the bulk and surface energies are at the same energy scale, oscillations in the bulk term can be neglected close to the surfaces ∂*E and S(u), where surface oscillations are dominant.
