We approximate functionals depending on the gradient of u and on the behaviour of u near the discontinuity points by families of non-local functionals where the gradient is replaced by finite differences. We prove pointwise convergence, Γ-convergence and a compactness result, which implies, in particular, the convergence of minima and minimizers.

We provide an approximation of some free discontinuity problems by local functionals with a singular perturbation of higher order. More precisely, we study the limiting behaviour of energies of the form where Hu denotes the Hessian matrix of u.

We prove the existence of a minimizing pair for a free discontinuity problem, i.e. a variational problem in which the unknowns are a closed set K and a function suitably smooth outside K. Examples of such problems come from pattern recognition and mathematical physics, when both “volume” energy and “surface” energy are present.
