Intensive Period on ?Evolution Problems in Fracture Mechanics?
Monday 4 mar 2013 -- Friday 26 apr 2013
SISSA, Trieste
During the months March-April 2013 an intensive period on 

?Evolution Problems in Fracture Mechanics?

will take place at SISSA in Trieste in the framework of the ERC Advanced Grant ?Quasistatic and Dynamic Evolution Problems in Plasticity and Fracture?.

The activities will be organized around the following minicourses, with daily lectures.

Christopher J. Larsen, 4-8 March 2013:
Mathematical issues in globally minimizing, locally minimizing, and dynamic fracture evolutions

Gianpietro Del Piero, 11-15 March 2013:
The variational approach to fracture and other inelastic phenomena

Gilles Francfort, 3-13 April 2013:
Variational evolution problems in plasticity

Jay R. Walton, 15-19 April 2013:
A theory of fracture incorporating interfacial mechanics

Jean-Jacques Marigo, 22-26 April 2013:
Gradient damage models and their use in fracture mechanics

Talks on related subjects will be given by the participants and by other visitors. 

To participate in this activity, please contact Gianni Dal Maso (dalmaso at sissa.it).

Strict approximation, convex duality, uniqueness, and regularity for BV-minimizers
Thomas Schmidt (SNS Pisa, University of Zurich, and FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg)

Abstract. The first part of this seminar will be concerned with an issue of strict interior approximation for sets of finite perimeter and functions of bounded variation. Then, I will turn to extremality relations between BV-minimizers of variational integrals and dual solutions in the sense of convex analysis. Finally, I am planning to make connections to uniqueness and regularity results for these minimizers. The presented results are based on joint works with Lisa Beck.
