Abstract:

We show that all anisotropic perimeter functionals of the form $ \int_{\partial^* E\cap\Omega} \varphi (\nu_E) \, d{\cal H}^{n-1}$ ($\varphi$ convex and positively homogeneous of degree one) can be approximated in the sense of $\Gamma$-convergence by (limits of) isotropic but inhomogeneous perimeter functionals of the form $\int_{\partial^* E\cap \Omega} a(x/\epsilon) d{\cal H}^{n-1}$ ($a$ periodic).
