Abstract

We study the integral representation of Γ-limits of p-coercive integral functionals of the calculus of variations in the spirit of Dal Maso and Modica (1986). We use infima of local Dirichlet problems to characterize the limit integrands. Applications to homogenization and relaxation are given.
