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.


The theory of dissociative recombination (and the closely related processes of associative ionization and mutual quenching) is developed by using the Feshbach projection operator technique. An expression is given for the cross-section into a specific final state of the dissociating atoms. It is found that the complex potential energy corresponding to a resonance state is non-local in nature and the implications of using a local approximation are considered. The theory of photodissociation through resonances is developed with special reference to the energy spectrum of the products. It is shown that dissociative attachment can be studied without explicitly constructing the intermediate state.
