Extending linear growth functionals to functions of bounded fractional variation (2209.13956v1)

Published 28 Sep 2022 in math.AP

Abstract: In this paper we consider the minimization of a novel class of fractional linear growth functionals involving the Riesz fractional gradient. These functionals lack the coercivity properties in the fractional Sobolev spaces needed to apply the direct method. We therefore utilize the recently introduced spaces of bounded fractional variation and study the extension of the linear growth functional to these spaces through relaxation with respect to the weak* convergence. Our main result establishes an explicit representation for this relaxation, which includes an integral term accounting for the singular part of the fractional variation and features the quasiconvex envelope of the integrand. The role of quasiconvexity in this fractional framework is explained by a technique to switch between the fractional and classical settings. We complement the relaxation result with an existence theory for minimizers of the extended functional.
