Summer 2024

I am teaching the course

  • V5B6 - Selected Topics in Analysis and Calculus of Variations:
    Γ-convergence of integral functionals

It takes place at room SR 1.008 on Mondays from 14 (c.t.) to 16.

You can find a preliminary syllabus here.

If you are interested in participating, or have any question, don't hesitate to contact me!


News: to recover the missing lecture (due to the evacuation of the building) there will be an additional lecture on Friday 10 of May (this Friday) from 16 (c.t.) to 18 in the usual room SR 1.008


Here a quick report of past lectures:

  • Lecture 3 (on 29.04.2024): lower semicontinuity of Γ-limits, stability under continuous perturbations, Γ-limit of constant and monotone sequences, coerciveness notions, the fundamental Theorem of Γ-convergence.
  • Lecture 2 (on 22.04.2024): upper and lower limits, lower semicontinuity (definitions and properties), definition of Γ-convergence, example on the real line, upper and lower Γ-limits. [notes]
  • Lecture 1 (on 15.04.2024): quick overview of the course, CalcVar and Direct Method, the meaning (and need) of Γ-convergence, example of a homogenization problem. [notes]
